Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup semisweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 7 cups Rice Chex Cereal (use between 6 to 7 cups depending on desired coating thickness)
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (use between 1 to 2 cups)
  • Red White and Blue M&Ms

Optional Add-ins

  • Marshmallows
  • Peanut butter cups or other preferred mix-ins

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cereal: Measure 7 cups of Rice Chex Cereal into a large bowl and set aside to ready for coating.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Peanut Butter: In a microwavable bowl, combine 1 cup semisweet or dark chocolate chips and 1 cup creamy peanut butter. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Coat Cereal: Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the cereal. Gently stir to evenly coat all the cereal pieces without breaking them.
  4. Coat with Powdered Sugar: Place 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar into a large resealable plastic bag. Transfer the coated cereal mixture into the bag, seal it tightly, and shake vigorously until the cereal is thoroughly coated with powdered sugar.
  5. Add Mix-ins: Open the bag and add red, white, and blue M&Ms along with any optional add-ins like marshmallows. Gently mix to combine.
  6. Cool and Dry: Spread the coated snack mixture over a large baking sheet or waxed paper laid on the counter. Allow it to cool and dry completely to set the coating.
  7. Store: Once fully dry, store the puppy chow in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of powdered sugar depending on how thickly you want the coating.
  • You can substitute different types of chocolate chips based on preference, such as milk chocolate or white chocolate.
  • Optional add-ins like marshmallows or peanut butter cups can add extra flavor and texture.
  • Make sure to cool the mixture completely before storing to prevent sticking.
  • This snack is best enjoyed within a week for optimal freshness.
