Ingredients

  • 6 cups Gluten-Free Rice Cereal Squares
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Gluten-Free Vanilla Extract
  • 1.5 cups Powdered Sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and unsalted butter.

Step 2

Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Add the gluten-free vanilla extract to the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture and stir well.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, pour the gluten-free rice cereal squares.

Step 5

Carefully pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently fold until all the cereal pieces are evenly coated.

Step 6

Transfer the coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the powdered sugar into the bag, seal it tightly, and shake until all the cereal is evenly dusted with powdered sugar.

Step 7

Spread the coated puppy chow out onto a large piece of parchment paper to cool and set for about 15 minutes.

Step 8

Once cooled, store the puppy chow in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
