Ingredients

  • 9 cups Crispy rice cereal (e.g., Chex)
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Measure out the crispy rice cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Microwave the mixture on high in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted (this should take about 1.5 to 2 minutes).

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated into the melted mixture.

Step 5

Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the crispy rice cereal in the large bowl.

Step 6

Gently fold the mixture with a large spatula until all the cereal is evenly coated.

Step 7

Transfer the coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag or a large container with a lid.

Step 8

Add the powdered sugar to the bag or container, seal it tightly, and shake vigorously until each piece of cereal is fully coated in powdered sugar.

Step 9

Spread the finished snack mix onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool and set for about 10 minutes.

Step 10

Once cooled, transfer the Puppy Chow to a serving dish or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
