Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 microwave-safe bowl
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper
- 1 rubber spatula
- 1 large zip-top bag or container
Ingredients
- 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Begin by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, remove and stir. If necessary, microwave for an additional 15 seconds until melted and smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt into the melted chocolate mixture.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the Rice Chex cereal. Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the cereal and gently fold until all pieces are evenly coated.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and brown sugar.
- Transfer the chocolate-coated cereal into a large zip-top bag or container. Add the cocoa powder mixture and shake well until the cereal is evenly coated with the sugar mixture.
- Spread the coated puppy chow onto the prepared baking sheet to let it cool and harden for about 10 minutes.
- Once cooled, break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
Notes
For a fun twist, consider adding mini chocolate chips or drizzle melted white chocolate over the top before breaking it apart.
