Ooodles of Puppy Chow!



I've never made puppy chow before, so I never realized how delicious peanut butter, chocolate, and cereal can be.  This recipe is so easy and yummy!  A perfect Labor Day weekend snack!

Puppy Chow:

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup butter (I always use a little bit less butter than called for, but 1/4 cup was the closest measurement)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla
  • 8 cups Crispix or corn squares
  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter, chocolate chips, and butter.  Microwave for 50 seconds or until melted.  Stir.  Add the vanilla and mix together thoroughly.


Measure out 8 cups of cereal in a large bowl.  Add the chocolate mixture and stir until cereal is evenly coated.

Place chocolate/peanut butter-covered cereal in a large plastic bag.  Add the confectioners sugar and shake the bag until all the pieces of cereal are coated with sugar.

Spread onto a wax paper-covered tray and cool for 7 minutes.  Enjoy!
