Puppy Chow is a crunchy, sweet, no-bake snack made with rice cereal coated in chocolate, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. It’s easy to prepare, fun to eat, and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 9 cups crispy rice cereal (such as Chex)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and melted.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal in a large bowl. Gently stir until all cereal pieces are evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture to a large zip-top bag or container with a lid.
- Add powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake until the cereal is fully coated.
- Spread Puppy Chow on a baking sheet to cool. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Use rice or corn cereal for the best crunch.
- Don’t overheat the chocolate — it can seize quickly.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely before storing.
- Add more powdered sugar if you prefer a sweeter coating.
- Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
