Don't let the name fool you--puppy chow is a delicious dessert that's not only fun to make, but super easy too! All you need is original Chex cereal (or a cereal similar to it), chocolate chips, peanut butter, butter (or margarine) and confectioners sugar.
Recipe:
Place ½ cup of peanut putter, one cup of chocolate chips and ¼ cup of butter or margarine in a microwave safe bowl.
Microwave the mixture for one minute.
Stir the contents of the bowl thoroughly. If you want to you can also add a half teaspoon of vanilla, but this isn't necessary. Mix well.
Place nine cups of the cereal into another large bowl and pour your peanut butter and chocolate mixture over the cereal. Toss it around evenly, making sure that everything gets coated.
Put 3 cups of the powdered sugar in a giant zip-lock bag.
Add the coated cereal to the bag, leaving room to shake it around.
Shake the mixture in the bag, making sure each piece is coated with sugar.
Place the mixture into another large bowl, ready to serve.
Repeat the previous steps as often as necessary until you have the amount desired!
This dessert can be ready in about 15 minutes, so if you need to make something fast then this is your go-to recipe! Plus, it tastes delicious!
