Brownie Batter Puppy Chow is a deliciously sweet and crunchy snack mix that combines crispy Rice Chex cereal with a rich chocolate peanut butter coating and a dusting of brownie mix and powdered sugar, perfect for snacking or sharing at parties.

Ingredients

Snack Mix

  • 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Coating

  • 3/4 cup brownie mix
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Melt Chocolate Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
  2. Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture to enhance the flavor.
  3. Coat Cereal: Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the Rice Chex cereal in a large bowl. Gently stir to evenly coat all the cereal pieces without crushing them.
  4. Prepare Coating Bag: In a large zip-top bag, combine the brownie mix and powdered sugar, mixing them thoroughly.
  5. Shake to Coat: Add the chocolate-coated cereal into the zip-top bag. Seal the bag securely and shake vigorously until all cereal pieces are evenly coated with the brownie mix and powdered sugar.
  6. Cool and Serve: Spread the coated puppy chow onto a baking sheet to cool and set. Once cooled, transfer to a serving bowl or airtight container.

Notes

  • Use Rice Chex cereal for the perfect crispy texture.
  • Microwave times may vary; stir frequently to avoid burning the chocolate mixture.
  • Ensure the zip-top bag is sealed tightly before shaking to prevent mess.
  • Store puppy chow in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
