In case you haven’t heard of Puppy Chow – it’s a snack for humans. Please don’t feed it to your pets!

If you had any kind of a joyful upbringing, you had Puppy Chow at some point, whether prepared in your own kitchen, passed around class during snack-time, or store-bought from a gas station. And while the name might be misleading, this isn’t something you can feed to your dog. This sugary-sweet creation was an ideal treasure for people young and old, and hard to beat.

Also known as Muddy Buddies, Puppy Chow was an instant classic that filled tummies with a delicious crunch, and hearts with tender affection.

There's a way to bring that classic recipe back to life, with an adult twist. What would be the ultimate edible, that's tasty, nostalgic, mind-altering, and a sugary mess? That's right, whether you’re an 18+ medical marijuana consumer or a 21+ rec consumer in a legal state, you can treat yourself with a marijuana Puppy Chow recipe to try at home.

Enjoy this cannabis-infused remake of a beloved treat, which will leave you begging for more.

Special Ingredient

Before making this marijuana Puppy Chow recipe, you'll need to make a batch of cannabis-infused butter. This special ingredient is where the marijuana infusion comes from, and sets the recipe apart from other non-weed goodies.

Cannabutter is fairly easy to make, and there are two methods of getting it: the first is a quick fix, while the second involves decarboxylation, which is a little more time consuming. Both recipes make plenty of cannabis-infused butter to spare and use more than once.

Cannabutter Recipe 1: Super Quick and Easy

Makes: 60 servings (10 milligrams per teaspoon)

Ingredients:

½ c butter

¼ c cannabis (fresh flower works best)

Supplies:

Strainer of some kind, whether metal, cheesecloth, or coffee filter
Mason jar with sealed lid

To make:

1. Melt the butter on low heat, using a small saucepan on the stove.
2. Slowly mix in the cannabis, stirring often. Expect small bubbles to form on the edges, and keep mixing and scraping the sides. Heat and stir on-and-off for 45 minutes.
3. Remove from heat. Cool the mix for 10 minutes, still stirring.
4. Place the strainer over the opening of the mason jar. Pour the butter-weed mix through the strainer, and into the mason jar.
5. Squeeze any excess butter through the strainer, and be sure to pick out and throw away any chunks of weed.
6. To purify your butter, repeat the straining process between two and three times, until the mixture is clear and smooth.
7. Put the lid on the mason jar, and put in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Cannabutter Recipe 2: Decarboxylation

This recipe, using almost the same steps as the quick version, also takes the cannabis through the process of decarboxylation. The THC in marijuana is best activated through heat, which this method details. This is optional for your marijuana Puppy Chow recipe, though is often recommended for potency.

Makes: 60 servings (11 milligrams per teaspoon)

Ingredients:

½ c butter

¼ c cannabis (fresh flower works best)

Supplies:

Baking sheet
Strainer of some kind, whether metal, cheesecloth, or coffee filter
Mason jar with sealed lid

To make:

1. Preheat oven to 225 ? 240 degrees.
2. Cover baking sheet with the cannabis. Place pan in preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring cannabis every 10 minutes with a fork.
3. Remove from the oven. Let cool.
4. Melt the butter on low heat, using a small saucepan on the stove.
5. Slowly mix in the cannabis, stirring often. Expect small bubbles to form on the edges, and keep mixing and scraping the sides. Heat and stir on-and-off for 45 minutes.
6. Remove from heat. Cool the mix for 10 minutes, still stirring.
7. Place the strainer over the opening of the mason jar. Pour the butter-weed mix through the strainer, and into the mason jar.
8. Squeeze any excess butter through the strainer, and be sure to pick out and throw away any chunks of weed.
9. To purify your butter, repeat the straining process between two and three times, until the mixture is clear and smooth.
10. Put the lid on the mason jar, and put in the refrigerator until ready to use.
