Ingredients
Scale
- 9 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Measure out 9 cups of Rice Chex cereal and place it in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips, and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the melted mixture for an extra boost of flavor.
- Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the cereal and gently toss with a rubber spatula until the cereal is evenly coated. Be careful not to crush the cereal!
- Transfer the coated cereal to a large zip-top bag or airtight container. Add 1 ½ cups of powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake until every piece is fully coated.
- Spread the coated cereal onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool and set for about 15 minutes.
- Once cooled, transfer your Peanut Butter Puppy Chow to a serving bowl or store it in an airtight container.

[‘Use fresh cereal for the best crunchy texture.’, ‘Stir the chocolate and peanut butter mixture frequently to avoid burning.’, ‘Let the Puppy Chow cool completely before serving to prevent powdered sugar from clumping.’, ‘Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to a month.’]
