FAQ's and Tips

What type of cereal is best?

My family likes to use Chex cereal. Rice Chex, Corn Chex, or a combination of both are a favorite. Also, you can use Crispix cereal. 

How do you store churro puppy chow?

I store my churro muddy buddies in either a gallon-sized zip-top bag or another air-tight container.  It is important to keep humidity and moisture away from the snack mix.
