Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, measure out 9 cups of your favorite Chex cereal (rice, corn, or wheat). Set aside.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter, and 1/4 cup of unsalted butter. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well each time, until smooth and fully combined.
-
Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the chocolate mixture, ensuring it's well incorporated.
-
Pour the chocolate mixture over the Chex cereal in the large mixing bowl. Gently fold and stir until all the cereal is evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
-
Place the powdered sugar in a large resealable plastic bag. Add the chocolate-coated Chex cereal to the bag.
-
Seal the bag tightly and shake it gently until all the cereal is coated in the powdered sugar. You can also sprinkle extra powdered sugar on top for a sweeter finish.
-
Spread the Puppy Chow in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool and set for about 30 minutes.
-
Once the Puppy Chow is set, transfer it to an airtight container or package it in cute bags to share with friends as a delicious homemade gift.
