This Red White and Blue Puppy Chow is a festive, sweet snack mix perfect for celebrations. It features crunchy Chex cereal coated in a rich chocolate and peanut butter mixture, dusted with powdered sugar, and sprinkled with red and blue M&M candies for a colorful and delicious treat.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 9 cups Chex cereal
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup red and blue M&M candies

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and unsalted butter. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring well after each until fully melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
  2. Coat the Cereal: Pour the melted chocolate peanut butter mixture over the 9 cups of Chex cereal in a large bowl. Gently toss with a rubber spatula to coat the cereal thoroughly without breaking the pieces.
  3. Prepare Powdered Sugar Bags: Divide the 2 1/2 cups of powdered sugar evenly between two gallon-sized storage bags.
  4. Coat in Powdered Sugar: Place half of the chocolate-coated cereal into each bag with powdered sugar. Seal the bags and toss gently to coat each piece evenly with sugar.
  5. Set the Puppy Chow: Spread the coated cereal in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it set for about 30 minutes to allow the coating to firm up.
  6. Add Candies and Serve: Before serving, transfer the puppy chow to a serving bowl and mix in the red and blue M&M candies or any other desired toppings for a festive touch.

Notes

  • Use a rubber spatula or silicone spatula to toss the cereal gently to avoid breaking the pieces.
  • Allowing the puppy chow to set on parchment paper helps the coating harden and prevents sticking.
  • Feel free to substitute or add other candies or nuts for variety.
  • Store puppy chow in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to a week.
