Hot Cocoa Muddy Buddies

"I was first introduced to Muddy Buddies by my mother-in-law (then boyfriend's mom), when she handed me a bowl and said, "here, I made you some Puppy Chow!" A few thoughts ran through my head -- Is she calling me a dog??? Does she think I have a dog??? What am I supposed to do with this?! --- and then she popped some in her mouth and I quickly realized it was just a really awful name for some delicious holiday treats. Phew."
