Rudolph Chow
Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup margarine
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 4 cups cereal (such as Chex or Rice Krispies)
Instructions:
-
Melt the Butter and Peanut Butter: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, margarine, and creamy peanut butter. Heat the mixture in the microwave for about 4 minutes, or until everything is melted and smooth. Keep an eye on it to prevent overheating.
-
Add the Cereal: Once the butter and peanut butter mixture is melted, carefully pour it over the cereal in the bowl. Gently toss the cereal with the melted mixture until it’s evenly coated. Be gentle to avoid crushing the cereal, as you want to maintain its crunchy texture.
-
Coat with Powdered Sugar: Place the powdered sugar in a large paper bag or clean trash bag. Transfer the coated cereal into the bag with the powdered sugar. Close the bag securely and gently toss the cereal until it’s fully coated with the powdered sugar. This will give the Rudolph Chow its signature sweet and snowy exterior.
-
Let it Dry: Once the cereal is coated with powdered sugar, spread it out on a large baking sheet or countertop to cool and dry. Let it sit undisturbed until the powdered sugar coating has set and the Rudolph Chow is dry to the touch. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
-
Store and Enjoy: Once the Rudolph Chow is completely dry, transfer it to an airtight container for storage. It will stay fresh for several days, although it’s unlikely to last that long once everyone gets a taste! Enjoy it as a snack on its own, or use it to add crunch and flavor to ice cream, yogurt, or other desserts.
Tips:
- Feel free to get creative with your choice of cereal. While traditional options like Chex or Rice Krispies work well, you can also try using flavored varieties for an extra burst of flavor.
- For a festive touch, add holiday sprinkles or mini chocolate chips to the Rudolph Chow before it sets. This will add a pop of color and extra sweetness that’s perfect for Christmas celebrations.
- Package Rudolph Chow in decorative tins or jars to give as gifts during the holiday season. Simply fill the containers with the coated cereal, add a festive ribbon or tag, and spread the joy of homemade treats with friends and family.
With its irresistible combination of flavors and textures, Rudolph Chow is sure to become a staple in your holiday baking repertoire. Whether you’re serving it at a Christmas party, giving it as a gift, or simply enjoying it as a special treat at home, this easy and delicious recipe is bound to spread cheer and delight to all who taste it.
