Ingredients
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 6 Tablespoons salted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch sea salt
- 9 cups corn and rice Chex cereal ((1 12 oz box))
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (plus more as needed or wanted)
Instructions
- In a microwave safe bowl or double boiler, melt the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter together until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract and pinch of salt.
- Add the cereal to a large bowl. Pour the chocolate mixture over top and stir until everything is well coated.
- Transfer the cereal mixture to two gallon size zip lock bags or one large paper bag. Add powdered sugar, then seal well. Shake until the cereal is well coated. If you want there to be a lot of powdered sugar coating that hasn't sunk in to the cereal, add an extra 1/4 to 1/2 cup.
Notes
- Feel free to use any kind of Chex cereal, or even other cereals, like Cheerios or Crispix, for this recipe. As written, this puppy chow is gluten free. Be sure to pay attention to labels if you decide to switch the cereal.
- Puppy chow should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature. It will keep for up to a week.
- You can also freeze puppy chow for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight or eat it frozen!
