Description

A simple, no-cook 5-ingredient snack featuring Chex cereal coated in chocolate and peanut butter, tossed with powdered sugar, and finished with a peanut butter drizzle for the ultimate comfort food.

Ingredients

Scale

6 cups Chex cereal (Corn or Rice)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup confectioners’ sugar (powdered sugar)
2 tbsp peanut butter (for drizzle)
1 tsp milk or water (for drizzle)

Instructions

Pour 6 cups of Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl or large plastic bag.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup peanut butter and 1 cup chocolate chips.
Microwave the chocolate and peanut butter mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal and fold gently until every piece is coated.
Sprinkle 1 cup of confectioners’ sugar over the coated cereal and toss thoroughly until the cereal is evenly dusted and no longer sticky.
In a small microwave-safe cup, melt 2 tbsp peanut butter with 1 tsp milk or water in 15-second intervals until smooth.
Transfer the melted drizzle mixture to a small ziplock bag, snip off a corner, and drizzle over the puppy chow.
Spread the puppy chow on a baking sheet or plate and let cool for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
Toss once more to redistribute sugar and serve.

Notes

Do not overheat the chocolate; microwave in 30-second intervals to prevent burning. Sift powdered sugar if it is clumpy. Use a large bowl to ensure enough room for tossing. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Do not freeze as texture may change.
