Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
Ingredients
- 1 box Rice Chex cereal
- 1.5 cups chocolate chips
- 0.75 cups smooth peanut butter
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 packages Butterfinger Bits
- 2.5 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Start by taking a large bowl and placing the Rice Chex cereal in it. Also, add one bag of crushed Butterfinger candy bars. This is where the delicious crunch begins!
- Next, grab a microwave-safe bowl and combine the chocolate chips, smooth peanut butter, and vegetable oil. It’s crucial to melt these ingredients together until they are smooth and creamy. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted.
- Once your chocolate mixture is smooth, pour it over the bowl of Rice Chex and crushed Butterfinger. Gently toss the mixture until every piece of cereal is coated evenly. This step is essential to ensure that the chocolate mixture clings well.
- After the cereal is coated, transfer it into a resealable food-storage bag. This is where the fun begins! Pour in 2 cups of powdered sugar and the remaining crushed Butterfinger bits. Seal the bag tightly, making sure to remove as much air as possible.
- Shake the bag gently to coat all of the cereal thoroughly with the sugary mix. This step is key to achieving that sweet coating we all love in Puppy Chow.
- Lastly, pour the coated cereal onto parchment paper or a baking sheet and allow it to set. This will help it firm up, making it easier to eat. Once it’s cooled, you’ll have a delicious batch of Butterfinger Puppy Chow ready to enjoy!
