Puppy Chow, Anyone?

So the name doesn't sound so appetizing, but it's actually really tasty!  Want to try it?
 After I tasted this snack years ago, I've always wanted to make it myself.  I was real excited when I finally learned how!  Let me share it with you:

Puppy Chow

Ingredients you'll need:

1/3 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter (about half a stick)
1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips (I suppose you could use white chocolate, too...I'm going to try it soon ^_^)
9 cups Crispix or Chex cereal
2 cups confectioner's (also known as powdered) sugar


Tools you'll need:

A medium or small-sized deep frying pan
A wooden spoon
A large bowl (large enough to hold almost all of the ingredients above)
A large bag (I think the brown paper bags work best)


Instructions:

First get out your frying pan and wooden spoon and mix the peanut butter, butter (you might want to slice it into smaller pieces first), and chocolate chips together on medium heat until they're melted.  This should only take a few minutes.
Next, scrape out the mixture into the large bowl.  Open the cereal box and pour 9 cups of it into the bowl, then stir it all together with a spoon.
Continue stirring until each piece of cereal is nicely covered in the chocolate-butter-peanut butter mixture.  (Here's the fun part coming up!)
Measure two cups of confectioner's sugar and drop them into the paper bag.  Also pour the cereal from the bowl into the bag, shut the bag up tight, and shake it!  Give it a really good shake, until all of the cereal is covered in sugar.  Place it in a bowl or other container and serve at parties, meetings, for desert, or just for a yummy snack.  Mmm-mmm!

(PS - Illustration coming up!  :D)

My kids love this stuff!!! The first time I made it I hadn't put the chocolate in when my kids tasted it and they asked if they could have it without so I said sure. That's the way I've been making it ever since!!

It's easy and great when you need to take a dessert or snack to pass at a potluck!!

Thanks for sharing,
