My friend and I make these all the time! We absolutely love them. I've heard some of our friends call it Dog Food. We just call it Muddy Buddies.

When I was growing up we called this Puppy Chow too! I'm from the chicago area so maybe it's a midwest thing? They are really tasty though, and easy to make!

We know them as puppy chow as well in CT. I didn't recognize the name Muddy Buddies until someone I was baking them with called them that.
