puppy chow

We first found this recipe for puppy chow in a church cookbook.  Although it sounds like it is a dog treat it is really people food.  Similar recipes with different names are prevalent now.  We always make the original.  It is quickly put together and requires only a few ingredients and the first two on the list do not even need to be measured.

Puppy chow

12 oz box of Crispix cereal

12 oz package of milk chocolate chips

1 cup peanut butter

1/4 cup butter

3 cups confectioners sugar

In microwave or stove top melt chocolate chips with peanut butter and butter.  Pour over cereal and stir gently until all pieces are coated.  Pour coated cereal into a brown paper grocery bag and shake with the confectioners sugar until evenly mixed.  Pour onto parchment paper or waxed paper to cool.
