Instructions:

Preparation Time Cook Time Total Time
30 minutes 2 minutes 32 minutes
  1. Measure Cereal: Begin by measuring out 9 cups of crispy rice cereal into a large bowl. Set it aside for later use.

  2. Melt Chocolate Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and unsalted butter. Microwave this mixture for 1 minute on high heat.

  3. Stir and Microwave Further: After the initial minute, remove the bowl from the microwave and give the mixture a good stir. Place it back in the microwave and cook for an additional 30 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

  4. Add Vanilla: Once the chocolate mixture is smooth, stir in 1-2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.

  5. Coat Cereal: Pour the chocolate mixture over the measured cereal in the large bowl, stirring gently until all the cereal is evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.

  6. Add Powdered Sugar: Transfer the chocolate-coated cereal into a large Ziploc bag and add 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar.

  7. Shake Well: Seal the Ziploc bag tightly and shake it vigorously until all the cereal is well coated with powdered sugar.

  8. Cool and Serve: Spread the coated cereal mixture onto waxed paper in an even layer to cool. Once cooled, you can serve it immediately or store it in Ziploc bags or a large sealed bowl for later enjoyment.

  9. Recipe Note: If you’re dividing the Puppy Chow into smaller bags, it’s helpful to add the cereal mixture to each bag a little at a time to ensure even distribution.
