Right on top of it, you are!!! Thanks. That's just what they looked like. I'll need to check those out!

Thanks ladies, I've copied the recipes. I love it when something good, makes me come out like the Kitchen Queen. {#emotions_dlg.lol}

The recipe is usually on the box of Chex, along with a lot of the usual Chex Mix recipes.

As rat2e said, these should come with a warning label, they are so good!{#emotions_dlg.thumbup}

Bugle corn chips have come out with their version too. Pretty good and not as expensive as a bag of the Chex. Love them but they are pretty small bags for close to $4.00 here.

The thing I forgot to mention, which is a very important "thing", is that the Snickerdoodle flavor this calls for came out last holiday season in the grocery stores as a seasonal thing in the regular size larger bags, about 10.5 oz. I could only find them on Amazon in that size bag for a long time, and I haven't checked lately. However, a lot of convenience stores carry them in the bag I pictured in my first post, which is 4.5 oz for about $3.00. I haven't made them since last winter when they still had some of the larger bags available (they were a turquoise color), so it might be kind of expensive to make. I'm hoping they will come back with the larger bags in the grocery stores, which were much more reasonable. I haven't checked to see if they have them now.

They do still have the larger bags of the chocolate flavor, so I think this recipe would probably taste good with those as well, or on the Chex website, I think there are recipes to make the ones using Chex cereal and cinnamon and powdered sugar.

Sorry about leaving out that important bit of information. {#emotions_dlg.blink}{#emotions_dlg.blush}

We call it Puppy Chow.

Ingredients:
9 cups crispy rice cereal squares
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
Directions:
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate; add peanut butter and mix until smooth Remove from heat, add cereal and stir until coated
Pour powdered sugar into large plastic bag, add coated cereal and shake until well coated. Store in airtight container

It goes by so many names: Muddy Buddies, Monkey Munch (or Crunch), Puppy Chow...

Most call for 1 teasp. of vanilla. The one I posted above also calls for 1/4 cp. margarine (or butter). I will have to check my recipe at home. I haven't made it since last Super Bowl, but for some reason I don't recall the butter with the peanut butter. Also, my daughter and I make it together, so that may be why I am fuzzy--between the two of us measuring ingredients.

This sounds really good -- I could eat a lot of that kind of "puppy chow"! {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

I had never heard of it until about a year ago. There are a few baking blogs on line that have puppy chow recipes.
