Ingredients
Scale
Peanut Butter Puppy Chow:
- 4–1/2 cups Peanut Butter Captain Crunch
- 4–1/2 cups Cap’n Crunch cereal (the regular kind, no berries!)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips (milk chocolate or semi-sweet)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 cups powdered sugar (divided)
Instructions
- Prepare: In a very large bowl, add in both cereals, then set aside.
- Make Peanut Butter Chocolate Mixture: In a separate, large, microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter, chocolate chips, and butter. Microwave the mixture in 15-second intervals, stirring well between each burst, until smooth. Stir in vanilla and salt. Pour mixture over cereal and gently stir to coat.
- Divide the Mixture: Split cereal and powdered sugar into 2 parts. Coat each portion of cereal evenly with powdered sugar using resealable bags. Combine coated cereal mixtures into a large bowl.
- Add Mix-Ins: Optional mix-ins can be added on top of the sugar-coated cereal and gently stirred through for distribution.
Notes
- You can customize this recipe by adding in your favorite mix-ins like mini marshmallows, chocolate candies, or chopped nuts.
- Store Peanut Butter Puppy Chow in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
