Puppy Chow Balls

Puppy Chow Balls are a fun and crunchy snack made by coating cereal in a rich chocolate peanut butter mixture and dusted with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  2. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Place the cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently stir until evenly coated.
  4. Transfer the coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag. Add powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake until the cereal is completely coated in sugar.
  5. Spread the Puppy Chow Balls on parchment paper to cool and set before serving.

Notes

For an extra crunch, try adding chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt before the final sugar coating.
