Christmas Puppy Chow (aka Reindeer Chow) has the perfect mix of chocolate and peanut butter with the satisfying crunch of Chex mix and a sweet powdered sugar coating. Plus the M&M’s add holiday color along with a classic flavor and crunch we all know and love.
Ingredients
1 ½cupssemi-sweet chocolate chips
¾cupcreamy peanut butter
⅓cupbutter
½teaspoonvanilla
9cupsrice Chex cereal
3cupsconfectioners sugar
holiday m&m’s
Instructions
Add the chocolate chips and peanut butter to a large, microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and the chocolate has melted. Stir in melted butter and vanilla extract.
Add the Chex cereal to the bowl and toss to coat. Work gently so that you do not break the cereal pieces.
Open a large zip-top baggie and spoon the cereal mixture into it. Pour the confectioners sugar in, seal the bag, and gently shake it to coat the cereal in the confectioners sugar. You may have to do this in batches if you have smaller bags.
Pour the coated cereal into a bowl and add the holiday m&m’s. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Not for dogs, only humans!Store your Christmas Muddy Buddies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the fridge for up to one week. Personally, I prefer enjoying my puppy chow straight from the fridge.
