Notes
- Rice Chex mix or corn Chex mix works best and is naturally gluten free!
- Use peanut butter that is made with only peanuts and salt. Any added sugars, oils or preservatives will alter the texture.
- I used this Vitamix Peanut Butter and it worked perfectly!
- Use Vegan chocolate chips to keep this recipe Vegan. I use Enjoy Life dark chocolate chips which melt well.
- Melt peanut butter, chocolate chips, coconut oil and vanilla extract until completely smooth and creamy. Mine usually takes two 30 second increments.
- This recipe calls for only 1 cup of powdered sugar which lightly coats the puppy chow. Feel free to add more if desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge. If it's hot outside, I recommend storing in the fridge.
- This is not safe for dogs or puppies to eat.
