Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 9 cups Rice cereal squares
- 1 cup Sunflower seed butter
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
Instructions
Measure out 9 cups of rice cereal squares and place them in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of sunflower seed butter, 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1 cup of unsalted butter.
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted.
Remove from microwave and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the rice cereal squares and gently stir until the cereal is evenly coated.
Add the coated cereal to a large resealable plastic bag. Add 2 cups of powdered sugar to the bag, seal it, and shake well until all the cereal pieces are completely coated with powdered sugar.
Spread the puppy chow out on a baking sheet to cool and allow the chocolate to set.
Once cooled, store the puppy chow in an airtight container or resealable bag.
