Tasty Tuesday - Puppy Chow


WARNING: This is not actually dog food.

I realize that most of you already know that the recipe for puppy chow is on the back of the Crispix box.

HOWEVER....

My husband and I tend to improvise on recipes. So if you're a peanut butter lover, here is OUR recipe:


Puppy Chow

7 cups Crispix (NOT Chex)
1 heaping cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup peanut butter
powdered sugar

Put peanut butter and chocolate chips in a bowl and place in the microwave. Check often and stir until melted together.

Pour melted mixture over large bowl of Crispix and gently stir. Refrigerate 20 minutes.

Pour 1/4 cup powdered sugar into a large clean bag. (We use a 13-gallon garbage bag and then save it for the next time we need a new garbage bag). Shake bag to coat with sugar.

Add refrigerated coated cereal and shake. Add more sugar if desired.

Enjoy!

Why can't you use chex?

EXTRAORDINARY:

Well, you CAN use Chex, but it's totally not as good. Crispix is rice on one side and corn on the other and it's THE BEST! :) Like I said, this is our improved recipe.
