Ingredients

  • 6 cups Chex cereal (rice or corn)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter

Place the Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl and set aside.

Step 2

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

Transfer the chocolate-coated cereal to a large, sealable plastic bag or a lidded container.

Step 7

Add the powdered sugar to the bag or container with the coated cereal. Seal tightly and shake vigorously until the cereal is evenly coated with powdered sugar.

Spread the finished Puppy Chow onto a baking sheet in a single layer to cool and set for about 10 minutes.

Step 9

Once cooled, transfer the Puppy Chow to a serving bowl or an airtight storage container.
