Chex Puppy Chow

Please tell me you've heard of puppy chow. It's the most delicious treat ever and it's so easy to make! This week, I have so many Christmas parties to attend so I've been making all different treats and individually wrapping them. Puppy Chow is always a hit at parties! I always go home empty-handed. It makes me so happy to see people enjoying my gluten free foods, especially if they don't know they are gluten free! ;) This recipe I have adapted to make party-size puppy chow. It uses the whole box of chex and serves a huge group. I'd say that it would serve about 20 people. This stuff is addicting and a family favorite! It's super easy & so fun to make! This is a great recipe to make with children! They can be in charge of shaking. ;)

Ingredients:

• 1 box of Corn Chex (any type is fine, I think Corn stays crunchy better)
• 1 1/4 cup of semisweet chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup peanut butter
• 5 Tbsp. butter 
• Powdered sugar

Directions:

1. Measure Chex and put into a large bowl.
2. In a large microwavable bowl, microwave the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter in 30 second intervals. BE SURE TO DO IT IN 30 SECOND INTERVALS SO IT DOESN'T BURN. 
3. Stir after each interval.
4. Once it is melted and stirred smooth, pour it into the bowl of cereal. Softly stir the mixture to coat the cereal and to avoid breaking the cereal. 
5. In a gallon-sized bag, scoop some powdered sugar into the bottom of the bag. Slowly add some cereal. Zip and shake the bag. Keep adding the chex in intervals. Add powdered sugar as needed to coat the cereals. 
6. When the bag starts to get full, start a second bag. Shake as you go. (It's a serious arm workout people!)
7. When all the chex is coated with powdered sugar, pop them in the fridge for about 20 minutes to allow the chocolate to cool. 
8. Pour into a bowl and enjoy!

**Keep them in a container to avoid them going stale. I like to put them in individual bags for parties or in a large bowl. At home, we keep them in a container in the fridge.***
