  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 cups Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Measure out 9 cups of rice cereal squares and place them in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of sunflower seed butter, 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1 cup of unsalted butter.

Remove from microwave and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the chocolate mixture over the rice cereal squares and gently stir until the cereal is evenly coated.

Step 6

Add the coated cereal to a large resealable plastic bag. Add 2 cups of powdered sugar to the bag, seal it, and shake well until all the cereal pieces are completely coated with powdered sugar.

Step 7

Spread the puppy chow out on a baking sheet to cool and allow the chocolate to set.

Step 8

Once cooled, store the puppy chow in an airtight container or resealable bag.
