Ingredients
- 9 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 tablespoons Salted butter
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.75 cup Mini peanut butter candies (e.g., Reese's Pieces)
- 0.5 cup Chopped peanuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place the Rice Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl and set it aside.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and salted butter.
Step 3
Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes total.
Step 4
Stir in the vanilla extract to the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture.
Step 5
Pour the melted mixture over the Rice Chex cereal, gently folding with a spatula to evenly coat the cereal without breaking it.
Step 6
Transfer the coated cereal into a large gallon-sized resealable plastic bag or a lidded container.
Step 7
Add the powdered sugar to the bag or container, seal it tightly, and shake until the cereal is fully coated in powdered sugar.
Step 8
Open the bag or container and stir in the mini peanut butter candies as well as the chopped peanuts, if using.
Step 9
Spread the puppy chow onto a large baking sheet or parchment paper to cool and set for about 10 minutes.
Step 10
Once the puppy chow is fully cooled and no longer sticky, transfer to an airtight container. Serve and enjoy!
