Along with the pound cake in a jar, I made puppy chow and chex mix for some staff members and close friends. Even though I'm not much into baking, every year I enjoy making a few things for friends and family.
I've been making puppy chow for years, but I have never looked at a recipe. I first had it back in 8th grade Home Economics and fell in love. I tried to recreate it and I think I've got it down.
Here's my {totally healthy} version of Puppy Chow (hate the name, btw):
Chocolate Almond Bark
Creamy Peanut Butter
Powdered Sugar
Toasted Rice Cereal
Melt the entire package of almond bark in the microwave and then add peanut butter to taste. I add about 2 cups of peanut butter. Heat the peanut butter and chocolate in the microwave until you have a creamy mixture.
In a LARGE bowl, coat the chex with the chocolate peanut butter.
Then pour powdered sugar (it will take close to a whole bag) over the gooey chocolate and coat the chex (it helps if you have a bowl with a lid so you can shake it really well). After the chex are covered with powdered sugar, put the puppy chow in the fridge to harden.
