Puppy Chow

Puppy chow (aka muddy buddies) are one of the easiest and most delicious desserts EVER. Whip up a quick batch in your temporary housing unit in New Jersey and watch the family go wild. This is a perfect treat to store as a special treat, if you can keep it from being eaten for that long. All you need is 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, 2/3 cup peanut butter, 1/4 cup butter, 1 tsp vanilla, ½ tsp salt, 10 cups Rice Chex cereal and 2 cups powdered sugar. Step 1 – combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter in a bowl, microwave on high for 1 minute and stir to combine. Microwave in 20 second increments until completely smooth. Step 2 – pour cereal into large bowl, then pour over chocolate mixture and toss. Step 3 – pour coated cereal into large bag and add powdered sugar, shaking to coat. Pour cereal onto large baking sheet to cool about 10 minutes. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
