The Best Puppy Chow Recipe

chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate chips

💰Cheaper: cocoa powder

Dark chocolate has less sugar and more antioxidants.

peanut butter

🥗Healthier: almond butter

💰Cheaper: sunflower seed butter

Almond butter is lower in sugar, while sunflower seed butter is often cheaper.

Combine 1 cup chocolate chips, 1/2 cup butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl.

Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until fully melted and smooth.

Pour the melted chocolate mixture over 9 cups of Chex cereal in a large bowl, working quickly to prevent hardening.

Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the Chex cereal until evenly coated.

Divide 2 cups powdered sugar into two gallon-sized zip-top bags, adding 1 cup to each bag.

Transfer the coated Chex cereal into the bags with powdered sugar, ensuring to keep air in the bags.

Seal the bags and shake until the Chex cereal is evenly coated with powdered sugar.

Transfer the Puppy Chow to a serving bowl and serve.
