Recipe Swap Sunday: Puppy Chow

This recipe dates back to fifth grade. I still have the recipe written in my 10-year-old friend’s handwriting. If you’re reading this: thanks, Jen!! I still make it regularly. It makes a ton, but it won’t last long. Fill a jar and decorate with cool papers or stamped images, and you’ve created a perfect teacher’s gift. ENJOY!

Puppy Chow

1 box Crispix (You can also use Chex.)
2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ c peanut butter
½ c butter
½ c peanuts
3 c powdered sugar

Put peanut butter, chocolate chips and butter in a microwave safe bowl. Melt, stirring every 30 seconds so it doesn’t burn. Add peanuts. Pour over cereal and mix gently. Put powdered sugar in a Ziploc bag or a dish with a tight lid. Add cereal mixture and shake until well-coated.
