Is this perhaps the most revolutionary thing I’ve ever made? It certainly is. (We’re talking revolutionary within the food snacking world only. This isn’t some new political system or anything).
I remember the first time I had puppy chow was at a friend’s birthday slumber party in 8th grade. That’s kind of old to have never had puppy chow (aka muddy buddies). My eyes were opened. I felt I had never lived before. I could see new colors. Fortunately, eating too much puppy chow is likely the craziest thing I did at a sleepover in middle school.
I continue to relish crossing paths with the Chow. Every time I taste it, I recall it’s perfect, sweet crunch. Now a new era has dawned, the era of the cookie. Will this cause me to eat more or less of it, I’m not sure. In the one sense, I can eat a whole bowl of the cereal version and have felt like I just had a nibble. In another way, eating a cookie is a large, more efficient vessel to get peanut butter and powdered sugar into my mouth. We may never know, but if you’ve ever loved puppy chow – this one goes out to you.
