Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 9 cups Chex cereal (Rice, Corn, or Wheat)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (smooth variety)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients and tools. This will make the process smooth and enjoyable.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 cup of creamy peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
- Once melted, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, add 9 cups of Chex cereal. Pour the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the cereal, gently folding until every piece is coated.
- Transfer the coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag. Add 1 ½ cups of powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake until the cereal is evenly coated in sugar.
- Spread the Puppy Chow onto a baking sheet or large dish to cool. Once it's set, store it in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
