Notes

Tip: If you don't want to use a microwave you can melt all of this in a saucepan on the stove top. I'd recommend using a double boiler just to be safe.

Is Puppy Chow gluten-free? This would depend on the ingredients you use. If you need this to be gluten-free make sure to buy corn check cereal.

Also double-check all other ingredients to make sure they are made gluten-free. Ingredients can vary from brand to brand.

Do I need to refrigerate this recipe? These muddy buddies can be stored at room temperature for up to 7 days in an airtight container.

My bet is you will eat them pretty quickly but store them in an airtight container in the fridge and they will last longer than 7 days.
