Time for a recipe what with Easter coming and all. This one
is compliments of my sister, Pam. I make
this and spoon it into pretty cellophane bags, tie up with festive ribbon and
give it as a treat for the kids (especially the big ones) or for a hostess
gift.
Puppy Chow
6 cups Crispix (or store brand) cereal
½ cup peanut butter
½ cup butter
12 oz bag of chocolate chips
2 cups powdered sugar (may need a bit more than this)
Large paper sack
Melt peanut butter, butter, and chocolate chips together in
microwave or on the stove. Stir into cereal. I put the cereal in my big yellow Tupperware
salad bowl. Dump powdered sugar into paper sack. Scoop cereal into paper sack
and shake until well coated. Warning – this is the messy part! But licking the
spoon and eating the crunchy bits left in the bowl is acceptable and thigh friendly. Pam says she adds M & M's and the Easter pastels would be perfect for this time of year.
Spread on cookie sheets to dry out then spoon it into your containers. This makes a lot but it goes fast, too.
Enjoy!

Ah, yes. This would go over big at my house. In fact, it would develop the scientific characteristics of water; i.e., it would evaporate. :D
ReplyDeleteLOL Rhonda, I just Love your take on things!!
DeleteI'm with Rhonda--this would evaporate in my house! My husband is lactose intolerant, so I'd have to find a butter substitute, though. Ever made these without butter or with a butter substitute? Just curious. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe!
No, Janette, I haven't, but I don't see why a substitute wouldn't work. If you try it let me know? K?
DeleteYum, just made some last week with life cereal!
