If you have never had the popular Chex Mix treat commonly called "puppy chow" you should try it. It is delicious.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 9 cups Chex cereal
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup margarine or butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/2 Cups powdered sugar
  • Microwave safe bowl
  • Wax paper
  • 2 gal. size plastic resealable bag
  1. Step 1

    The first thing you are going to want to do is, measure out all your cereal into a bowl and set it aside for later.

  2. Step 2

    The next step is to pour your chocolate chips, peanut butter and margarine in a microwave safe bowl. You are going to cook that uncovered on high for 1 minute, then stir.

  3. Step 3

    Cook for 30 more seconds, or until it's smooth when you stir it. Now you stir in your vanilla.

  4. Step 4

    Pour your mixture over your cereal that you set aside, and stir until it's evenly coated. When it's all coated pour it into a large(2 gal) plastic bag. Resealable is good. Then add your powdered sugar, and seal your bag. Shake it until the powdered sugar is evenly coating the cereal.

  5. Step 5

    Now you can spread your puppy chow out on a piece of tin foil or wax paper to cool. Store in a the refrigerator.

Tips & Warnings
  • This is a yummy treat your children and you will love!!!
  • Always be careful when removing dishes from the microwave. They will be hot.
