Description

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Topping

  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Melt chocolate and peanut butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, stir, then continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Add vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract until it is fully incorporated into the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture.
  4. Coat cereal: Place the Rice Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the cereal and gently fold it using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until all the cereal pieces are evenly coated.
  5. Add cocoa powder: Sprinkle the unsweetened cocoa powder over the coated cereal and fold again to ensure the cereal is evenly coated with the cocoa flavor.
  6. Coat with powdered sugar: Transfer the mixture into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake gently until the cereal is thoroughly coated with powdered sugar, giving it a sweet and slightly powdery finish.
  7. Add toppings: Spread the coated puppy chow onto your prepared baking sheet. While still warm, optionally sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top for extra chocolatey indulgence.
  8. Cool and serve: Allow the puppy chow to cool completely at room temperature before serving so it sets and becomes crunchy.

Notes

  • Store puppy chow in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for the best texture.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
  • Mix gently when folding the cereal to avoid breaking the pieces.
  • Mini chocolate chips add an extra layer of chocolate flavor, but you can omit them if desired.
  • This recipe is easily doubled or halved depending on your serving needs.
