Super Quick Puppy Chow
1 box vegan crispy rice/corn cereal
1 package vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 jar peanut butter (creamy)
powdered sugar (try hain organic powdered sugar or see below)
1 paper bag (or garbage bag)
In a microwavable bowl, combine peanut butter and chocolate chips. Put in the microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Put in for another 30 seconds and stir again.
By now the mixture should be melted together, if not keep it going 10 seconds at a time. (trust me on this, if you go longer, it will burn the chocolate and then you've wasted :( ...)
After you've got your peanut butter/chocolate mixture, gradually pour in the cereal, stirring until all your cereal is evenly coated with the mixture. (you may not end up using all of your cereal)
Pour powdered sugar into a bag and pour cereal mixture into bag as well.
Close the bag tight and shake it up until the mixture is evenly coated with powdered sugar.
Enjoy! You can either keep it in the bag or pour it into a sealed bowl (for humans, not puppies).
SO HOW'D IT GO?
Do you eat this snack after it's cooled off? Does it keep well?
Here's a smaller slightly different version which we call Monkey Munch:
9 cups any kind of cereal (chex, cherios, rice krisipies)
1 c semi sweet chocolate chips (melt in bowl)
1/2 c peanut butter (melt in same bowl)
1/4 margarine (melt in same bowl)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Add all to huge bowl with 1 1/2 cups vegan powdered sugar and mix around till clumpy and delicious!
I love puppy chow! It reminds me of when when I was little :)>>>
