Cookies and Cream Muddy Buddies are a classic puppy chow recipe with Chex and peanut butter but we’re adding in Oreos for some extra flavor and crunch. These are super addiction – they’re almost too good.

Cookies and Cream Puppy Chow
I’m not gonna lie: just LOOKING at these photos makes me drool. Muddy buddies are my undoing – I can eat an entire batch in one day if I’m not careful. ESPECIALLY if they have peanut butter AND Oreos in them.
I rarely change the original muddy buddy recipe because if it ain’t broke…right? I mean chocolate + peanut butter + Chex cereal…there’s nothing wrong with any of that. In fact, I’ve used this recipe but coated peanut butter pretzels and made muddy buddy pecans with the magical elixir that is the muddy buddy recipe.
Ingredients
- This recipe uses Chex cereal (you can use any kind of Chex you like)
- Oreos are chopped into bite size chunks and add extra flavor!

How to make Cookies and Cream Muddy Buddies

Just when I thought it was impossible to make Muddy Buddies (puppy chow, tomato tomahto) any more delicious, you go and throw this at us. Seriously, this stuff looks BEYOND addictive. I’ve gotta try it soon!
In college I took two semesters of Black History, and I never learned about these women, either. Talk about unsung heroes! Hey, these treats look delicious and portable. I’m thinking Super Bowl snacks.
Wish I had a cup of these now. Not any more than that or I’d eat all of it too!!! lol
These are genius! I’ve always steered clear of the cookies and cream muddy buddies because they leave out the peanut butter. Why would you do that?!? Thanks for solving that problem. 🙂 And speaking of problems…I thought I was the only one who loved geometric proofs! You mean I’m not alone after all? Yay!
