These are the perfect two bite party food! They are filling yet easy to make and always a hit.  This recipe is from Food Lovin Family . 2 cans pillsbury grands jr biscuits frozen italian meatballs (thawed) 3 sticks mozarella string cheese (cut into pieces) 1/2 tsp italian seasoning 1/4 tsp garlic powder 1/2 cup butter (melted) marinara sauce for dipping Heat oven to 375.

Puppy chow, muddy buddies, whatever you call them this is a classic! Everyone seems to make their recipe slightly differently but this is how I make it! 1 (12 oz) box Crispix 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 cup smooth peanut butter 5 tbsp butter 1 lb powdered sugar In a sauce pan melt together the chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter.  Stir together over low heat until it is completely melted.

Add the coated cereal then pour in the remaining powdered sugar and carefully shake to coat.  Place in an airtight container to store.
