Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 9 cups Chex cereal (corn or rice)
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
Instructions
Measure out 9 cups of Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter.
Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until fully melted and smooth (about 1-2 minutes total).
Stir in the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the Chex cereal, gently folding with a spatula to coat the cereal evenly. Be careful not to crush the cereal.
Transfer the coated cereal to a large resealable plastic bag or a clean paper bag.
Add the powdered sugar to the bag. Seal it tightly and shake vigorously until all the cereal pieces are evenly coated.
Spread the coated cereal out on a baking sheet or parchment paper to cool and set for 10-15 minutes.
Once cooled, transfer the People Puppy Chow to an airtight container or serve immediately.
