Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Gluten-Free Rice Cereal Squares
- 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1 teaspoon Gluten-Free Vanilla Extract
- 1.5 cups Powdered Sugar
Instructions
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and unsalted butter.
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add the gluten-free vanilla extract to the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture and stir well.
In a large mixing bowl, pour the gluten-free rice cereal squares.
Carefully pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently fold until all the cereal pieces are evenly coated.
Transfer the coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the powdered sugar into the bag, seal it tightly, and shake until all the cereal is evenly dusted with powdered sugar.
Spread the coated puppy chow out onto a large piece of parchment paper to cool and set for about 15 minutes.
Once cooled, store the puppy chow in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
