Ingredients
  

  • 8 cups rice Chex cereal
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 4 tbsp butter salted or unsalted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Large zip-top bag or container
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until everything is melted and smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes total.
  2. Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavors.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the rice Chex cereal. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently stir until the cereal is evenly coated.
  4. Transfer the coated cereal into a large zip-top bag or container. Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake until the cereal is well coated and looks white and fluffy.
  5. Spread the Puppy Chow onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool. Once cooled, it’s ready to be enjoyed!

Notes

  • For a healthier version, use dark chocolate or a nut butter alternative.
  • Add mini marshmallows or M&Ms for a fun twist.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
