Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 9 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
Prepare a large mixing bowl by adding the Rice Chex cereal to it. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter.
Microwave the chocolate mixture on high for 1 minute. Stir, then microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted.
Stir in the vanilla extract to the melted chocolate mixture.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the Rice Chex cereal and gently fold using a spatula until all the cereal pieces are evenly coated.
Transfer half of the coated cereal to a large zip-top plastic bag or a large resealable container with a lid. Add 3/4 cup of powdered sugar.
Seal the bag or container and shake vigorously until the cereal is fully coated in powdered sugar.
Repeat the process with the remaining cereal and the remaining 3/4 cup of powdered sugar.
Spread the coated cereal onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool and set completely, about 15 minutes.
Once cooled, transfer the Puppy Chow into an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy!
