    Easter Puppy Chow is sweet, crunchy and addictive! This easy to make muddy buddy recipe for Easter is the perfect snack! This is a kid-friendly recipe that is perfect to set out on Easter for your guests to nosh on.

    Puppy Chow is also known as muddy buddies. Why you ask, I have no idea. So regardless of what you call them, the bottom line is, they are delicious!

    The only problem with making puppy chow is that once you make it, you will want to make it time and time again; especially during the holidays, like for Easter.

    I make up a batch whenever the mood strikes. So of course, I have created a Christmas Puppy Chow recipe, a recipe for Patriotic Puppy Chow, a St. Patrick's Day Muddy Buddy Recipe and a fun Red and Pink Valentine Puppy Chow Recipe.
