Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips can substitute milk chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter can substitute almond or cashew butter
  • 5 cups Chex cereal any variety works
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Mixing spoon
  • Gallon-sized zip bag

Method
 

  1. Place the Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  2. Combine the dark chocolate chips and peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the cereal. Stir gently to avoid breaking the cereal pieces while ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
  4. Place the powdered sugar in a gallon-sized zip bag.
  5. Add the chocolate-coated cereal to the bag with powdered sugar. Seal the bag and shake vigorously until all pieces are completely covered with powdered sugar.
  6. Pour the finished puppy chow into a serving bowl and enjoy immediately. Store leftovers in an airtight container.

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Tips: Be gentle when stirring to avoid crushing the cereal. Make sure chocolate mixture is completely smooth before coating cereal.
Variations: Try using different nut butters or white chocolate chips for variety. This recipe is perfect for holiday parties and gift-giving.
