The classic puppy chow: crunchy Chex cereal covered in chocolate, peanut butter, and sugar. It's the ultimate sugary snack food (and perfect for gifting, too)!
‣ 1/2 cup unsalted butter, (1 stick) ‣ 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips ‣ 1/2 cup peanut butter ‣ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ‣ 2 cup powdered sugar ‣ 9 cup Chex Cereal, (roughly 1 12oz box)
1
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter, then microwave it until the chocolate has melted (for best results, follow the instructions on the bag of chips.)
2
Quickly add the vanilla extract, then stir well.
3
Add the Chex cereal to a large mixing bowl (I like using a 13-quart mixing bowl), then pour the melted chocolate mixture on top.
4
Use a spatula to gently toss to mix until all the cereal is coated.
5
Add powdered sugar to a ZipLoc bag. Working in batches, scoop in a portion of the coated Chex cereal, seal the bag, then shake to coat the cereal in powdered sugar.
6
Spread the puppy chow out on a flat surface (like a baking sheet) and allow it to cool, dry, and set.
