Puppy Chow

You may be asking yourself, “Why is this recipe called Puppy Chow?”  And the truth is, I have no idea why we call it that.  What I do know, is that it’s a quick, easy, kid-pleasing snack.  You can throw it together in a matter of minutes.

Here’s what you need…

Heat the chocolate chips in the microwave for a minute on high.  They won’t look much different.  Stir well, then heat for 30 seconds at a time until they’re melted, stirring between each heating.

After the chocolate has melted, stir in the peanut butter and mix well.

Pour the chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the cereal in a large bowl.  Stir, the stir some more.  Keep stirring until it’s really well coated.

I like to add the powdered sugar in two parts, half on the bottom, half on the top.  Toss the cereal until it’s well-coated.
