Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 cups rice chex cereal
- 1 cup brownie mix (store-bought or homemade, unsweetened)
Coating/Chocolate Ingredients:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
Finishing Ingredients:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon (1 tsp) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Create a velvety chocolate base by melting chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring between 30-second intervals until fully incorporated. Infuse the mixture with a hint of vanilla extract for depth of flavor.
- Gently cascade the molten chocolate mixture over Rice Chex cereal in a spacious mixing bowl, tenderly folding until each crisp morsel is luxuriously enrobed in the glossy chocolate coating.
- Prepare a flavor-transforming vessel by combining brownie mix and powdered sugar in a generously sized zip-top bag or sealed container, creating a decadent dry coating.
- Carefully transfer the chocolate-drenched cereal into the prepared bag, sealing securely. Vigorously shake the contents, ensuring each piece is thoroughly dusted with the rich brownie-sugar blend.
- Distribute the coated morsels onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, allowing them to set and solidify for approximately 15-20 minutes. Once cooled and crisp, transfer to an airtight container for storage, ready to be devoured at a moment’s notice.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for a richer, more decadent brownie batter flavor that elevates the entire puppy chow.
- Ensure the cereal is completely dry before coating to prevent clumping and achieve a perfect, even chocolate coverage.
- Experiment with different brownie mix flavors like dark chocolate or salted caramel to create unique variations of this sweet treat.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular brownie mix with a gluten-free alternative and use gluten-free Rice Chex cereal to accommodate dietary restrictions.
