The first time that I ate this amazingly addictive treat was many, many years ago, but it was called “Puppy Chow”. Somehow I cannot bring myself to call a people food by a pet-food name (applicable as it may be). Hence my new name for an old treat 🙂 If you never tried this before, I think that you should–it takes about 6 minutes to make and about 5 minutes to devour!
Ingredients:
9 cups Crispex cereal
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup natural peanut butter, creamy
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Directions:
- Pour cereal into large bowl. Set aside.
- In a 1-quart microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter.
- Microwave at high power for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until smooth, stirring after 1 minute.
- Stir in vanilla.
- Pour chocolate sauce slowly over cereal, stirring to coat evenly.
- Pour cereal into large plastic bag.
- Add powdered sugar and secure. Shake to coat well.
- Spread on waxed paper, in a single layer.
- Cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container.
