Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 9 cups Crispy rice cereal (e.g., Chex)
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
Instructions
Measure out the crispy rice cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and unsalted butter.
Microwave the mixture on high in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted (this should take about 1.5 to 2 minutes).
Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated into the melted mixture.
Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the crispy rice cereal in the large bowl.
Gently fold the mixture with a large spatula until all the cereal is evenly coated.
Transfer the coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag or a large container with a lid.
Add the powdered sugar to the bag or container, seal it tightly, and shake vigorously until each piece of cereal is fully coated in powdered sugar.
Spread the finished snack mix onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool and set for about 10 minutes.
Once cooled, transfer the Puppy Chow to a serving dish or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
