Dessert - Puppy Chow

[Chris_in_SoCal]

I had never heard of this until I saw it on you YouTube video last week. It looked too good not to try it for myself.

We have a group over tonight so I spent a whole 5 minutes and made up a batch. Everyone kept telling me how good it was and asking for the recipe.

1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter
1 tp vanilla extract

Microwave in a bowl in 30 second increments and mix until melted fully keep mixing.

In a large bowl add 9 cups of Chex Rice cereal. then add in the mixture and stir until well incorporated.

in a extra large ziplock add 1 cup of powdered sugar and half the mix. Shake it back and forth until everything is coated well.

repeat with the second half.

It's a staple around here around the holidays. Pretty addictive stuff

 

[JIMSMOKES]

Like everything but the powdered sugar.

It's a Midwest staple. Been eating it since I was young. Some also do a Carmel drizzle too. I've thought about smoking the chex mix then coating it.

I figured it was something like that. I was watching the Brits from Jolly that flew to Detroit to attend their first Tailgate party and NFL game in the USA. Part way thru they tried the puppy chow and raved about it enough that it peaked my interest.

I can say that my wife and her friends ate most of it and many took some home with them. I have been picking and eating bites of it every time I have walked by it tonight and love it.

It's nothing I've heard of in the Northeast, but it sounds interesting.

Yep. Definitely would be at a midwest tailgate. My wife is known for her version. There's a few spins on it with different things added. Hers is called "reindeer kibble". I want to say ours is less chex but pretzel squares are added. We're a salt added to sweets family here.

Yup, you can buy it at any grocery store or Casey's gas station. Another chocolate cereal coated creation is "reindeer poop"

Now that's a real appetizing name.

Me as well, I have to say after my blood work yesterday and my A1C numbers, I will not be trying this or pursuing sour dough making for a while.

I've been extremely lucky with my numbers, and I don't really want to push that luck.

THIS is new to me , and I am very intrigued with it.

I love sweets and this sound great. Also love salty and sweet treats.

[bbqbrett]

Yeah, that stuff is great!

 

[Fueling Around]

You should see Scouts devour the stuff when they sell it in the Trading Post at Camp.

 

[Smoking Allowed]

We make it every year around the holidays

I saw lots of options when I was checking out recipes. I thought I would start with the basics and go from there.

My wife makes it at Christmas, the whole family loves it except me...just not my jam!
