Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter smooth variety
  • 1/4 cup salted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 1 to 2 cups powdered sugar for coating

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Parchment paper or baking sheet

Method
 

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and salted butter. Microwave on high for 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
  2. Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the Rice Chex cereal. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal, gently folding it in until evenly coated.
  4. Transfer the coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag or bowl. Gradually add powdered sugar, sealing it tightly. Shake gently until all the cereal is coated.
  5. Spread the Puppy Chow onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool completely. Once cooled, it’s ready to serve or store!

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
  • Freeze in a sealed bag for up to three months for longer storage.
  • Make sure Puppy Chow is completely cooled before storing to prevent moisture buildup.
