Puppy Chow Snack Mix

Whatever you call it, we call it downright tasty! And hard to stay out of! Chex cereal coated with peanut butter and chocolate and doused with powdered sugar is highly addictive! Just be careful to not inhale too much powdered sugar.

Ingredients

Scale

9 cups Chex cereal (rice or corn variety)

1 cup chocolate chips (semisweet or milk chocolate)

1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter

1 tsp. vanilla

11/2 to 2 cups powdered sugar

2 cups M&M chocolate candies

Instructions

Measure cereal into a large bowl.  Set aside.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter.  Microwave on high for 1 minute.  Stir, and microwave in 30-second increments until mixture is melted.  Stir until smooth.  Add vanilla and stir again.  Pour over cereal and stir until evenly combined.

In a gallon-sized, zip-top bag, pour about 1/2 of the cereal mixture into the bag.  Add about 1/2 of the powdered sugar to the cereal.  Shake to evenly coat.  Pour cereal onto a parchment or wax-paper lined baking sheet to set.  Repeat with remaining cereal and powdered sugar.  When set, mix in M&M candies. Store in an airtight container.
