Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- ¾ cup dry brownie mix (store-bought or homemade)
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- Add Flavor: Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt into the melted chocolate mixture to enhance the flavor.
- Coat the Cereal: Gently fold the Rice Chex cereal into the chocolate mixture, stirring carefully until every piece is evenly coated with the chocolate.
- Prepare the Sugar Mixture: In a large zip-top bag or a large mixing bowl with a lid, combine the powdered sugar and dry brownie mix, mixing them thoroughly.
- Coat with Sugar and Brownie Mix: Add the chocolate-coated cereal to the sugar and brownie mix, seal the bag or cover the bowl, and shake or stir until all cereal pieces are fully coated and no longer sticky.
- Cool and Set: Spread the coated puppy chow evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and allow it to cool and set for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Store the puppy chow in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to maintain freshness.
- For extra texture and flavor, add mini chocolate chips or sprinkles after coating the cereal in the sugar mixture.
- Ensure your brownie mix is safe to eat raw; if not, heat treat according to package or recipe instructions before using.
