My Go-To Party Snack

 
 
 
When living in a small town, it seems there are always little get togethers with neighbors, friends, and family that involve food, food and more food. So when I have to bring a snack or dessert I always resort to this easy and quick recipe. 
 
Puppy Chow
 
Ingredients:
  • 9 cups of Rice Chex (can use Corn Chex, but I use Gluten Free Rice Chex due to my sister having Celiac & I honestly think they taste best)  
  • 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup of peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup of butter
  • 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar
Other materials:
  • 2 gallon sized Ziploc bags
  • 1 very large bowl (at least 4 quart)
  • 1 microwave safe bowl
Directions:
1.  Pour cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
2.  Pour the powered sugar into the 2 gallon sized bags (about 3/4 a cup of powered sugar in each) and set aside.   
3.  Combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter into a microwave safe bowl and put in the microwave on high for 1 minute (or until mixture is smooth and entirely melted).
4.  After the mixture is melted, stir until the mixture is completely smooth. 
5.  Pour the mixture over the cereal and mix with a spatula or spoon (or I like to mix with my hands, after my hands are washed of course). 
6.  Pour in the completely covered Chex into the 2 gallon sized Ziploc bags.
7.  Zip both Ziploc bags and shake the mixture until the powered sugar is covering the Chex. 
8.  Pour mixtures from bags into a bowl and enjoy!
 
P.S. I am currently stuffing my face with puppy chow as we speak.
