Puppy Chow


  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: Varies

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Nestle White Baking Chips
  • ¾ cup creamy natural peanut butter (I used Trader Joe’s)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 6 cups Corn Chex
  • 3 cups confectioners’ sugar

Instructions

  1. In a large microwave safe bowl, combine the chips, peanut butter, and butter. Place in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. Remove and stir vigorously. Microwave for 30 seconds more. Stir again. See if you can get all the chips melted and the mixture fully combined, if not pop it back into the microwave for about 10 seconds. After stirring again, the mixture should be completely melted.
  2. Add vanilla and stir to combine. Add the cereal to the mixture. I added 3 cups at a time just to make stirring easier. Try not to break up the cereal too much, though some breaking and crushing is inevitable. The cereal should be basically completely coated with the peanut butter mixture. It is okay if there are some clumps; they are the best parts.
  3. Add 2 cups confectioner’s sugar and stir to begin coating the cereal. Add the third cup and stir to completely coat the cereal. If it is not coated enough, you may add more confectioners’ sugar until it is.
  4. Store in a zipper bag at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the freezer in a doubled zipper bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature for just a few minutes.
