It’s always a good time for chocolate and peanut butter! Especially when it’s in the form of a seriously addicting no bake cookie! You won’t be able to stop at just one!

My kids are kind of obsessed with Muddy Buddies. You know about Muddy Buddies, right? Ok, first you need to check out these Cupcake Muddy Buddies, and these S’mores Muddy Buddies, and definitely these Lemon Pie Muddy Buddies!! If you haven’t had muddy buddies before, run to the kitchen and make  some now! You won’t be sorry.

So, anyway, my kids are always asking if we can make some, and this time I wanted to switch it up a bit. I had a box of rice krispie cereal in the pantry, and immediately got the idea for these cookies.

These cookies are just as addicting as the original. They are perfect for any occasion, and there is no baking involved. Enjoy!

If you make these No Bake Puppy Chow Cookies Cookies, I would love for you to leave a star rating and comment here on the blog! It’s helps me to know what you are making and loving and it’s helpful to other readers as well!

    Can they be frozen?

      I would not freeze these. The texture will change and they won’t be crispy anymore.

    I’m just stumbling upon this amazing recipe now and I feel so behind! Just a quick question though: how many servings or cookies does this recipe make?

    This is AWESOME!! I made them today, halved the rec ipe, but only used 2 cups of Krispies. It was easier for me to stir that way. I’m also a lazy cook, so made them into bars. After they were set I sprinkled them with powdered sugar. My whole family loves them. They are a definite keeper. Thank you. 🙂

    These no-bake treats sound wonderful. Can you use crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth?

      You may need to add extra peanut butter if you use crunchy, since this is what holds the cookies together.

    Approximately how many cookies does this recipe make?

      I don’t think that can be accurately answered since it depends on how big you dish them out.
      I’m guessing “a lot” since it uses five cups of cereal.

    Yay! It took me awhile to find a recipe to make muddy buddies that didn’t involve me getting out in the freezy peasy rain just for a box of cereal, when I have plenty of cereal here! Munchy crisis averted, you are my savior! :))

      I substitute wow butter in mine all the time. You can get it at most supermarkets. It’s a soybutter alternative to peanut butter and it tastes the best in the recipes. It’s not the best on its own though so I only use it in recipes like this.

      My niece is allergic to most nuts so I use cookie butter to make muddy buddies she loves them. I assume it would work for this.
