Puppy Chow Recipe

Its got a name for the dogs, but this puppy chow recipe is just for you!
With its original combination of peanut butter, chocolate, powdered sugar, and the light crisp that comes from the cereal.
You need to try it for yourself and once you do you’ll surely be hooked.
Ive been making this easy snack for my family ever since I can remember and although it makes a large batch, it never lasts for more that a couple of days!
Everyone just seems to love this puppy chow recipe!
Yield: about 6 cups…roughly
Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 stick butter
- 6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 6 oz. milk chocolate chips
- 12 oz. box of Crispex (or similar cereal)
- 3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 paper bag
Directions:
1) Melt together the peanut butter, butter, semi-sweet chips, and the milk chocolate chips in a medium sauce-pan until it is a creamy delightful mixture; stirring occasionally.
2) Pour the whole box of cereal into a paper bag. Combine the chocolate mixture to the cereal so that both are in the paper bag.
3) Now for the fun part; shake it! Roll the top of the bag over a couple of times so nothing falls out then shake the bag until the cereal has an even coat of chocolate. By now you might be drooling from the smell of the combination of chocolate and peanut butter… but just wait.
4) After a few good shakes of the bag, add the sugar the same way; directly into the bag and shake it until the chocolate-coated cereal has a layer of white powdered sugar.
Now at this step you can vary the recipe a little bit. I usually don’t measure the sugar…
I just start pouring!
Anyone who makes puppy chow frequently knows that the amount of sugar is purely dependent on your specific taste. If you like sugar, then add more and if you dont… well then add less. It is completely up to you.
When I make my puppy chow I add enough sugar so that I cant see the chocolate anymore. But beware if you add too much then it wont coat the cereal anymore because the chocolate is what makes the sugar stick. Too much sugar will result in a bunch of just plain sugar at the bottom of the bag which is wasteful and doesn’t taste too good. Just play with it until you get it right!
5) Pour the puppy chow out of the bag and onto parchment paper. Evenly distribute it so the sweet snack can cool.
If you’re like me and my brother then you will quickly decide that puppy chow is best when its hot.
So go ahead, no ones watching. Pour yourself a big glass of milk and dig in!
Well that’s it. What are you waiting for?
This puppy chow recipe is easy, fun, delicious, and its calling your name!
