Puppy Chow Christmas Recipe
The Puppy Chow Christmas Recipe is sweet, crunchy and easy to make. It is a fun treat that everyone loves — kids and grown-ups too. You don’t need to bake it, just mix and shake!
Ingredients
- 9 cups rice Chex cereal
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1½ cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup red and green M&Ms
- 2 tablespoons Christmas sprinkles optional
Instructions
Melt the Chocolate Mix
- In a microwave bowl, add chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter. Heat for 30 seconds. Stir well. Repeat until it’s smooth and melted. Add vanilla and mix again.
Coat the Cereal
- Put the Chex cereal in a big bowl. Pour the melted chocolate mix over it. Stir gently so all pieces get covered. Don’t crush the cereal.
Add the Sugar
- Place the coated cereal into a zip-top bag. Add powdered sugar. Seal the bag and shake well. The cereal will turn white and look snowy.
Add the Christmas Touch
- Pour the puppy chow into a big bowl. Add M&Ms and sprinkles. Mix slowly so the colors spread nicely.
Cool and Serve
- Let it cool for 10 minutes. This helps the chocolate harden. Serve it fresh or store for later.
Notes
- Always use fresh cereal for best crunch.
- Don’t overheat the chocolate. Melt it slowly.
- Add sugar while the mix is warm so it sticks well.
- Add candies after cooling so they don’t melt.
- Store in a jar or box to keep it crispy.
