Pumpkin Spice Muddy Buddies are a deliciously spiced, super easy 10 minute treat that is perfect for gatherings!
Today, I’m sharing a super simple recipe for Pumpkin Spice Muddy Buddies! If you've never heard of them, they’re also called puppy chow (but don’t worry, they’re definitely not for dogs—learned that the hard way when a reader misunderstood!). These little snacks are packed with that cozy fall flavor, and they’re crazy easy to make. Perfect for a sweet treat when you're craving something festive, crunchy and EASY!
Why you'll love this recipe
I think I’ve just found the ultimate fall snack, and I’m obsessed! Classic muddy buddies are always a hit, but adding pumpkin spice takes them to a whole new level. Pumpkin spice is basically the essence of fall, so why not sprinkle it into your favorite treats? You have to make these Pumpkin Spice Muddy Buddies and trust me, you won’t be able to stop snacking!
These pumpkin spice muddy buddies start with rice Chex cereal and are covered in a mixture of orange candy melts (you could just use the same amount of regular white chocolate if you'd like) with a little bit of pumpkin pie spice mixed in and then they are coated in a sugary, pumpkin pie spice mixture. I mixed in some cute little marshmallow creme pumpkins to make a perfect Fall/Halloween-themed snack. Perfect for any parties you have coming up!

📋 Recipe
Pumpkin Spice Muddy Buddies
Ingredients
- 4 ½ cups Rice Chex Cereal
- 8 oz orange candy melts*, 1 ½ cups measured
- 3 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, divided
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup marshmallow creme pumpkins
Instructions
- In a large bowl, measure out cereal and set aside.
- In a large ziploc bag, add powdered sugar and 2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Shake it around a little to incorporate.
- In another bowl, melt candy melts (or white chocolate) in the microwave at 30 second intervals until melted and stir in 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Pour mixture over cereal and gently mix very well until all cereal is completely coated with the chocolate.
- Dump cereal mixture into the bag of spiced sugar, seal it up and shake vigorously until all of the cereal is thoroughly coated with the sugar mixture. You can go ahead and dump it in a bowl and enjoy right away, but I like to pour mine into a strainer and give it a little shake to remove the excess sugar. Add marshmallow creme pumpkins and serve.
