Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 5 cups rice chex cereal
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup brownie mix
Binding Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
Coating and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt chocolate and peanut butter together in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring until smooth. Incorporate vanilla extract into the glossy mixture.
- Pour the melted chocolate-peanut butter blend over Rice Chex cereal in a spacious mixing bowl, gently folding to ensure even, delicate coating without crushing the delicate cereal pieces.
- Prepare a large resealable plastic bag by combining powdered sugar and dry brownie mix, thoroughly blending the dry ingredients to create a uniform coating mixture.
- Transfer the chocolate-glazed cereal into the prepared bag, seal securely, and shake enthusiastically to completely enrobe each morsel with the sweet powdery mixture.
- Distribute the coated cereal onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, allowing it to cool and solidify at room temperature for approximately 15-20 minutes. Once completely set, transfer to a serving container or store in an airtight vessel to maintain crispness.
Notes
- Melt chocolate and peanut butter slowly to prevent burning, using short microwave intervals and stirring consistently for smooth, glossy texture.
- Use a light folding motion when coating cereal to maintain crisp texture and prevent crushing delicate Rice Chex pieces.
- Keep puppy chow in cool, dry place to maintain crunchiness, storing in airtight container for up to one week at room temperature.
- Swap regular brownie mix with gluten-free version for celiac-friendly treat, and use dairy-free chocolate chips for vegan alternative.
