Description

This Small Batch Puppy Chow recipe is a quick and delicious snack combining crispy Rice Chex cereal coated in a smooth white chocolate and peanut butter mixture, then dusted with powdered sugar for a sweet, crunchy treat. Perfect for a small serving size, it comes together easily with just a few ingredients and requires no baking.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Mixture

  • ¼ cup white chocolate chips
  • 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Cereal

  • 2 cups Rice Chex cereal

Coating

  • ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chocolate mixture: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and butter. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
  2. Coat the cereal: Add the Rice Chex cereal to the melted chocolate mixture and gently stir until every piece is evenly coated.
  3. Transfer to resealable bag: Place the coated cereal into a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. This setup makes it easier and less messy to coat the cereal with powdered sugar in the next step.
  4. Add powdered sugar: Pour the powdered sugar into the sealed bag with the coated cereal, seal tightly, and shake vigorously until the cereal pieces are thoroughly coated with powdered sugar.
  5. Serve or chill: Pour the coated Puppy Chow into a serving bowl and enjoy immediately if you prefer a soft texture. For firmer, crunchier pieces, spread the Puppy Chow on a rimmed baking sheet or plate and chill in the refrigerator until set.

Notes

  • Using the resealable bag to coat the cereal with powdered sugar reduces mess and ensures even coating.
  • The snack can be eaten immediately, but chilling will firm up the chocolate coating for a crunchier texture.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for extended freshness.
  • You can substitute creamy peanut butter with natural or another nut butter as preferred.
