Ingredients
- 9 cups Chex cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 9 cups of Chex cereal, 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of peanut butter, 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp of peppermint extract, and 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter, and unsalted butter. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat in 15-second intervals until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract until fully incorporated.

- In a large resealable plastic bag, add the 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar. Carefully add the coated Chex cereal to the bag. Seal the bag tightly, ensuring no air escapes, and shake vigorously until all the cereal is coated with powdered sugar.
- Once coated, spread the Mint Kissed Puppy Chow onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool and set for about 5 minutes.
- After cooling, transfer the Mint Kissed Puppy Chow to a serving bowl or store it in an airtight container. Enjoy your delicious treat!
Tips
- • For the smoothest chocolate mixture, chop chocolate chips into smaller pieces before melting • Use a large, sturdy zip-lock bag when coating with powdered sugar to prevent messy spills • Make sure to stir the chocolate mixture frequently to prevent burning • Let the Puppy Chow cool completely before serving to ensure the perfect powdery texture • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days • For extra mint flavor, consider adding a few drops of green food coloring to the powdered sugar • Use a spatula with a gentle folding motion to coat cereal to prevent breaking the delicate Chex pieces
