Ingredients
- 6 cups Chex cereal (rice, corn, or a mix)
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate and Peanut Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Mix with Cereal: Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon to evenly coat all the cereal pieces without breaking them.
- Coat with Powdered Sugar: Transfer the coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag or a large bowl. Add the powdered sugar, seal or cover, and shake or stir well until every piece is thoroughly coated in the powdered sugar, creating a light, flour-like dusting over the snack.
Notes
- Use any type of Chex cereal according to preference: rice, corn, or a mix for best results.
- To keep pieces from sticking together, spread the Puppy Chow in a single layer on a baking sheet to cool after coating.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week for optimal freshness.
- For a twist, try adding mini marshmallows, M&Ms, or nuts after coating with powdered sugar.
