Serves: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 9 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- Green sprinkles (for decoration)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 9 cups of Rice Chex cereal, 1 cup of chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of peanut butter, 1/4 cup of butter, 2 cups of powdered sugar, and green sprinkles for decoration.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave the mixture on high for 30 seconds.
- After 30 seconds, stir the mixture to combine. If the chocolate chips are not fully melted, return the bowl to the microwave and heat in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval until completely melted and smooth.
- Once the chocolate mixture is smooth, pour it over the Rice Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl. Gently stir the cereal to coat it evenly with the chocolate mixture. Be careful not to crush the cereal.
- In a separate large resealable plastic bag, add the powdered sugar. Once the cereal is well-coated, transfer it to the bag with powdered sugar.
- Seal the bag tightly and shake it gently until all the cereal is coated in powdered sugar. Make sure to distribute the sugar evenly for the best results.
- Once coated, spread the Puppy Chow out on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool and set for a few minutes.
- After the Puppy Chow has cooled, transfer it to a serving bowl or individual bags for sharing.
- Finally, sprinkle green sprinkles over the top for decoration, making it festive for St. Patrick's Day.
- Enjoy your St. Patrick's Day Puppy Chow as a delicious treat or party snack!
