You can break the process down into three easy steps. This really takes less than 10 minutes to make, and that’s including gathering and measuring all of the ingredients!
CEREAL: Measure your cereal into a large bowl and set aside.
CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER: In a 1-quart saucepan, heat semisweet chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter over low heat stirring frequently with a spatula until melted. Remove from heat and stir in a teaspoon of vanilla. Pour chocolate mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated.
POWDERED SUGAR: Pour into two-gallon resealable plastic bags. Add powdered sugar. Seal the bag and shake until well-coated. Spread over waxed or parchment paper to cool.
Recipe notes:
- It may be tempting to add more cereal to the peanut butter sauce but don’t. You want each piece of Chex to have an ample amount of chocolaty peanut butter sauce for the sugar to stick to.
- If you like your mix extra saucy try reducing the Chex amount to only 7-8 cups.
- This recipe is for the basic puppy chow and can be mixed with so many yummy treats like marshmallows, peanuts, almonds, pretzels, M&M’s, or Reese’s pieces. You can also customize it to whatever holiday candy is being sold at the time.
