A delicious and festive treat perfect for any celebration!
Ingredients
Scale
- 9 cups rice chex cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon green food coloring
- 1/2 cup festive sprinkles (green)
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Gather ingredients: Start by collecting all your ingredients including Chex cereal, chocolate chips, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and festive green sprinkles.
- Melt chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes total. Stir well to blend.
- Mix cereal: In a large bowl, pour in the Chex cereal. Carefully drizzle the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal, gently folding until all pieces are evenly coated.
- Coat with sugar: Transfer the chocolate-coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag filled with powdered sugar. Seal tightly and shake vigorously until every piece is coated.
- Add sprinkles: Pour the coated cereal onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. While it’s still warm, sprinkle on festive green sprinkles.
- Cool completely: Allow your Puppy Chow to cool for at least 30 minutes.
