This is one of those recipes that I found when I was going through pictures last month. I took pictures of this peanut butter free muddy buddies, aka peanut butter free puppy chow, months ago, but never shared it.

I was not sure if I should post it here on my main site, or in my gluten free allergy section, and in trying to decide I ended up just not posting it. After seeing the picture again I knew I wanted to share it. I decided to share it here in my main section because I know many of you deal with nut allergies, know someone that deals with them, or your kids go to a nut free school.

If you deal with any of those things you know how hard nut and peanut free snacks can be. If you add on to it gluten free, it can be even more challenging. Today’s recipe is perfect for those times that you need an easy peanut free snack.

Muddy buddies, aka puppy chow, has been a favorite with my kid for years. I often made it for movie night or when we had friends over. It really does make a perfect snack for kids.

That is until my daughter developed her peanut and tree nut allergy. All of the sudden muddy buddies was something I could not make and my kids missed it.
