Keto Muddy Buddy Snowballs are a quick and easy, no-bake, insanely yummy, low carb, and paleo treat.

A keto and paleo version of muddy buddies or puppy chow rolled into a ball and coated in low-carb powdered sweetener.

These festive snowballs taste absolutely delicious and are only 1g net carb per ball. No baking or hot appliances are involved, so even the little ones can help make these.

This was inspired by my Pumpkin Snowball Cookie recipe on this site.

I was also inspired by the traditional (not low carb) Muddy Buddy Chex mix recipe by Chex Cereal.

These snowballs are gluten free but don’t use any high-carb cereals like the traditional muddy buddy mixes.

I use crushed pork rinds in place of the cereal to give the muddy buddy snowballs the crunch without the carbs.

Please do not fret, as they do not taste like pork at all, lol.

Hint: I heated up the peanut or almond butter in the microwave for 15 seconds just to make mixing a little easier. I used a one tablespoon-sized cookie scoop to make rolling the dough into balls easier and to get the portion sizes similar.
