What You Will Need
- Cannabutter – This ingredient will infuse your recipe. You can make your own or start with my Bliss Cannabutter. Feel free to substitute this for cannabis coconut oil if you aren’t a butter-lover.
- Chex cereal – feel free to choose your favorite cereal pieces – rice cereal, corn cereal, or rice Chex cereal, it’s up to you.
- Chocolate chips – dark, semi-sweet, or sweet chocolate chips. Your choice.
- Peanut butter – smooth peanut butter works best, but feel free to use crunchy peanut butter if you’d like, or even infused-peanut butter.
- Powdered sugar – this is essential for the puppy chow/ muddy buddy mix. Make sure you purchase a fine powder and you can use any remaining powdered sugar for an extra light dust at the end.
- Add-in of choice – M&Ms, nuts, pretzels, etc – your choice for an extra fun party mix!
Note: A complete list of ingredients with amounts and printable instructions is located in the recipe card below.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Step 1 – First things first, prepare your cannabutter or cannabis coconut oil. If you have excess butter, store it in the fridge. Set aside.
- Step 2 – Add the Chex mix cereal of choice to a very large mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Step 3 – Line a large baking sheet, or cookie sheet, with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Step 4 – Prepare a double boiler or small saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Step 5 – Once the water is hot, add the chocolate chips and peanut butter to the top pan. Stir frequently until the mix forms small bubbles and is silky smooth. Turn to low heat.
- Step 6 – Stir in the cannabutter and vanilla extract until the mix is smooth again.
- Step 7 – Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cereal into a large bowl. Toss well with a silicone spatula until everything is well-coated.
- Step 8 – If you’re adding any optional ingredients, like M&Ms or pretzels, add them now. You can also add the rest of the chocolate if you have any leftovers.
- Step 9 – Transfer the mixture to two gallon-sized Ziploc bags. Pour half of the powdered sugar into each bag. Seal the top of the bag tightly and shake well until everything is well-coated. You can use up any additional powdered sugar in this step.
- Step 10 – Pour the mixture evenly onto the parchment paper/ wax paper to cool. Keep in a single layer.
- Step 11 – Once completely cool, transfer the mix to an airtight container of your choice.
- Step 12 – Store at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 7 days.

Alternate Cannabis Infusion Options
As with all things edibles, there is more than one way to infuse something.
Below, we will explore all the different ways you could infuse this recipe.
Cannabutter – The best way to infuse this recipe is with cannabis butter. It is super easy to make these infusions in a crockpot, or Instant Pot, or an infusion machine. Or you can purchase my Bliss Cannabutter and have it delivered straight to your door.
Coconut oil – cannabis-infused coconut oil works great here, too.
Peanut butter – you can use cannabis-infused peanut butter if desired.
Cannabis sugar – you can turn your infused cannabis sugar into powdered sugar with a high-speed blender or food processor.
Cannabis concentrates – you can mix your concentrate of choice, like FECO or distillate, right into regular butter for an easy infusion.
Decarbed cannabis – while it’s not my favorite way, you can add just decarbed cannabis or kief right to the peanut butter mixture.
Notes and Expert Tips
- Feel free to use whatever cups of cereal, peanut butter, or extra toppings you’d like to create the perfect snack!
- If you’re new to edibles, be mindful of your THC dosage. Although you want to have a delightful experience, a fun experience, you don’t want to learn the hard way what it means to overconsume cannabis edibles. Start with a low mg THC and go from there until you find the appropriate dose for you and your tolerance.
- Keep this out of reach of children.

This recipe is rather indulgent, so the best way to ensure this is a healthy treat is to watch your portion sizing and stick to a single serving size.
Of course, just swap your desired amount of cannabutter for the same amount of regular butter. For a half dose, use 2 tablespoons cannabutter to 2 tablespoons butter. Or just swap your desired amount if tbsp of regular butter.
Luckily, you can. This recipe stays fresh for up to a week in the refrigerator. It’s perfect for the busy holiday season or gifting to friends.
Of course! Please substitute peanut butter for any other nut butter that you are not allergic to. Almond, hazelnut, sunflower seed, cashew, and hemp seed butter are a few options.

I make regular check mix with lots of yummy salty munchies in it. I made it a couple years ago my friend got into it without knowing. He ate two bowls before noticing the only thing he could move was his little finger.
