Puppy Chow
Puppy Chow is one of our favorite homemade snacks. Yummy, sweet and crunchy for the win!
Servings: 10 cups
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter 1 stick
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 bag Rice Chex cereal About 10 cups
- 1 cup powdered sugar more if you don't want it clumpy
Instructions
- In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and peanut butter and stir constantly until the mixture is liquefied and well combined. Remove from heat.
- Using a gallon sized plastic bag, pour about half of the Chex cereal into it.
- Drizzle about half of the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal.
- Close the bag and give it a good shake until the Chex pieces are coated in the chocolate.
- Once cereal is coated, scoop about half of the powdered sugar over the Chex, close the top and give it another good shake.
- Add powdered sugar as needed until the Puppy Chow resembles the consistency you want it. Dump that batch into a large bowl or storage container.
- Repeat these steps with the remaining ingredients. This stores for 2-3 days on the counter, maybe longer in the fridge.
Notes
- This is a great recipe to make as a gift any time of year. Just change the packaging to fit the occasion.
- I've found that I oftentimes need additional powdered sugar when making round 2. Don't be afraid to add some if it's too sticky.
