4th Quarter Crunch

4th Quarter Crunch is a football-themed twist on classic puppy chow (also called Muddy Buddies) that’s perfect for game day snacking. It combines crunchy Chex cereal coated in chocolate-peanut butter or green candy melts, dusted with powdered sugar, and topped with adorable chocolate-covered almond “footballs.” The mix looks like a football field, tastes like a sweet-and-salty touchdown, and is easy enough for kids to help make — making it a true game day MVP.
