Main Ingredients
  • 9 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Use high-quality chocolate for best results.
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Optional for added flavor.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, pour the Rice Chex cereal. Drizzle the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal, carefully stirring to ensure every piece is coated.
  3. Transfer the coated Chex to a large resealable plastic bag. Add powdered sugar and shake until the Chex is evenly coated.
  4. Spread the Puppy Chow mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and allow it to cool completely.
  5. Once cooled, break apart any clumps and serve in a bowl or store in an airtight container.
