Puppy Chow Recipe

Here’s a fun and easy one to make with the kids:

Melt in large pot: 1 (12 oz.) pkg chocolate chips, (if you have a hunk of better quality chocolate, like Callebaut, hanging around, that’ll do just fine too), 1 stick margarine/butter, 1 cup peanut butter.



Add 1 box Crispix cereal.
You can also use Kix, Cheeerios or a mix of several. I had a few Honeycombs, and Cheerios so I put those in.


Stir to coat thoroughly.
Pour into large container with lid. (We use a popcorn tin – you can find these filled with popcorn on sale at the drugstore this time of year.)

Add 3 cups powdered sugar, cover, shake vigorously and roll on the floor….



The E. girl had a great idea to add a few mini-marshmallows.
Makes a nice treat bag.
PS. This is human food -- not appropriate for puppies!

  1. Sounds like a great giftie for everyone (though not puppies, as you point out).

  2. Not appropriate for my waistline! That's one dangerous snack.

  5. I can't get beyond the first picture. My eating habits tell me to grab a handful of those chocolate chips, followed by a big tablespoon of the peanut butter. Then I'd slather a big hunk of that butter on any available bread. Your way of serving all those goodies is so much more festive and civilized.

  7. You guys are right about the waistline- the problem with this stuff is that it's too easy to take "just a few" pieces, which turns into a handful, then a cupful, etc, etc...
