Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Gluten-free rice cereal (e.g., plain Chex or similar)
- 1 cup Dairy-free chocolate chips
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter (ensure it’s gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
Instructions
Place the gluten-free rice cereal in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dairy-free chocolate chips, peanut butter, and coconut oil.
Microwave the mixture on high in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth (this should take 1-2 minutes).
Stir in the vanilla extract to the melted mixture.
Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the rice cereal. Gently stir with a spatula to evenly coat the cereal without breaking it.
Transfer the coated cereal into a large, resealable plastic bag.
Add the powdered sugar to the bag, seal it tightly, and shake well until the cereal is fully coated in powdered sugar.
Spread the coated cereal onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool and set for about 10-15 minutes.
Transfer the Puppy Chow to an airtight container or serve immediately. Enjoy!
