Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 cups Crispy Chex cereal
  • 1 cup Chocolate chips or melting chocolate
  • 1/2 cup Peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups Powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Gather and measure out all ingredients including the Chex cereal, chocolate chips, peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract if using. Line a large baking sheet or bowl with parchment paper to toss and cool the mix later.
  2. Melt the Chocolate Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Stir in the vanilla extract if desired to enhance flavor.
  3. Coat the Cereal: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the Chex cereal in a large bowl. Gently fold the cereal with a spatula or wooden spoon to coat every piece evenly without crushing the crunchiness.
  4. Add the Powdered Sugar: Transfer the chocolate-coated Chex mix into a large zip-top bag or a separate bowl. Add the powdered sugar, seal or cover, and shake vigorously until each piece is coated with a snowy layer of sweetness.
  5. Let It Set: Spread the finished Puppy Chow evenly onto the prepared baking sheet or parchment paper. Let it cool completely to allow the chocolate to set before transferring the mix to a serving bowl or storage container.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Fold gently to avoid breaking the cereal and maintain crunchiness.
  • Chill the mix before serving to help the chocolate harden for a crisp snap.
  • Coat the mix with powdered sugar immediately after melting the chocolate for best coverage.
  • Store Puppy Chow in an airtight container to keep it fresh and crunchy longer.
