Puppy Chow (aka Chex Mix Muddy Buddies)
Description
To make Puppy Chow, chocolate chips, chunky peanut butter, and salted butter are melted together gently in a microwave, stirred until smooth, then mixed with vanilla extract. This warm, smooth chocolate-peanut mixture is poured over the rice Chex cereal and gently folded to coat each piece without breaking the cereal.
The coated cereal is transferred to a large resealable plastic bag, where it is combined with powdered sugar by shaking, evenly dusting all the pieces with a fine sweet coating. The result is a crunchy snack with a smooth, slightly sticky chocolate and peanut butter flavor balanced by the sugary powder. It is popular as a casual snack or party treat.
This recipe requires no baking and assembles quickly, making it practical for homemade snacking. Care should be taken to coat the cereal gently to preserve its crunchy texture.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup peanut butter chunky
- 1/4 cup butter salted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 9 cups rice chex cereal
- 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Heat chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter in microwave uncovered on high in 20 second bursts, stirring between bursts, until melted. It usually takes around 60-90 seconds. Stir in vanilla.
- Pour over the cereal in a large bowl and toss to coat. Be careful not to stir too vigorously and crush the cereal.
- Transfer to a large 2-gallon ziploc bag and add the powdered sugar. Seal bag and toss the chocolate coated cereal until it is all coated in powdered sugar.
