Puppy Chow

Puppy chow! Was not already on the blog! How weird is that? Really weird. This is a holiday staple, you guys. We cannot have Christmas without puppy chow. And that's the only time we ever make it , which is also really weird. Puppy chow is an all-occasion wonder snack.

Ingredients:
  • 6 oz (and by six I mean seven or eight) milk chocolate chips
  • 6 oz (ditto) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 box Crispix cereal
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
Melt together everything meltable. Pour over Crispix. Toss to coat. This is the only hard part of the recipe. Because if you actually toss it, I'm pretty sure you'll end up with a mess. And if you stir it with a giant spoon, you'll crush all the cereal. But that's okay. Crushed puppy chow is good too. When it's all nicely coated, dump it into a large paper bag (or a large tupperware bowl with a lid), add the powdered sugar, and shake shake shake. This is the totally fun part.

Now you should try to let it cool before eating. This is the other hard part. Then you should eat it.

This is the other totally fun part.

Makes enough for one or two really big Christmas parties.
