Ingredients
Scale
- 9 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted (about 1-2 minutes).
- Stir in the vanilla extract to the melted mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
- Place the Rice Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently fold with a spatula until all pieces are evenly coated.
- Transfer the coated cereal into a large plastic bag or resealable container. Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake until all the pieces are covered in a generous layer of sugar.
- Spread the puppy chow onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use fresh cereal for maximum crunch. Adjust the sweetness by reducing powdered sugar if desired. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to a month.
