Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 microwave-safe bowl
  • 1 set measuring cups
  • 1 set measuring spoons
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 parchment paper or wax paper
  • 1 rubber spatula or wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips for topping, optional

Instructions
 

  • Begin by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper to prevent sticking and make for easy cleanup.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, stir, then microwave in 15-second intervals until fully melted and smooth.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the Rice Chex cereal. Pour the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the cereal. Gently fold the mixture together using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until all the cereal is coated.
  • Sprinkle the cocoa powder over the coated cereal and fold again until the cereal is evenly coated with cocoa.
  • Transfer the mixture to a large resealable plastic bag. Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake gently until the mixture is well-coated with powdered sugar.
  • Spread the coated puppy chow onto the lined baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top while still warm for added indulgence.
  • Allow the puppy chow to cool completely at room temperature before serving.
