Puppy Chow

A most classic take on snack time. Sure, there are dressed-up versions of puppy chow around the innerwebs, but we always come back to our first true love.

Instructions

Ingredients

10 cups rice chex
1 ⅔ cup semi sweet chocolate chips
¾ cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup unsalted butter
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 ½ cups powdered sugar

Instructions

Place cereal into a large bowl* and set aside. In a 1-quart microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter uncovered on high for 1 minute. Stir and microwave for 30 more seconds or until mixture can be stirred smooth. Stir in vanilla.
Pour mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated. Pour into a 2-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag. Add powdered sugar. Seal the bag and shake until well coated. Spread on waxed paper to cool. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

*We are fancy kitchen professionals, so we need to tell you to use a bowl and food-safe bag. In reality, nothing beats a paper or plastic bag start to finish for this activity. Feel free to skip the baking sheet step, too. Just don’t tell anyone we said that.

- Choose between corn Chex, rice Chex, wheat Chex, or chocolate Chex, or a combination of all the above.

GLUTEN-FREE

- Be sure to check your cereal. Rice Chex is gluten-free, but other flavors may not be.

DAIRY-FREE

-Use an alternative butter.

NUT-FREE

-I haven’t tried it, but imagine sunflower butter would work just as well for this snack mix.
