Puppy Chow II

I found that it needed a lot more confectioners sugar in order to coat the cereal, other than that it was great. Thank you for the recipe, my family loved it.

a very good snack. I cant stop eating it. I love It

This worked great!!!!!!! I did have to add more powdered sugar to give it more of a white coloring but otherwise it is the best. I

We made this and it was VERY delicious!! The only thing I would add would be that 1/3 cups of confectioners sugar is not enough, we used about 3 cups and it’s very good!!

most likely to make it again.

no

I tried to make it one day for a family coming over to my house. Found out that I hate peanut butter!

“Puppy Chow” type snacks that are pre-made and available at the grocery store are not even HALF as good as this recipe. And, no matter if you’re a novice cook or an experienced one, you can’t mess up this recipe. Here’s how I made it. “Oh, that seems like more than I want to make so maybe about a cup of morsels, a half stick of butter and, hmmm, that looks like about 1/3 cup peanut butter — plenty.” Microwaved for about 1 1/2 minutes, stirred it until blended. Placed a piece of parchment on my large cookie sheet and put some cereal on it. Poured the warm mixture over the cereal and stirred it with a large plastic spoon until coated – “Oops, that might be too much cereal, oh well, I’ll just slide the extra off into a bowl for breakfast tomorrow morning!” It was well coated so I dumped some powdered sugar (no idea how much) on and mixed it loosely with my fingers until coated. There was a bunch of extra powdered sugar at the bottom of the paper so I rolled it up and over the mix and that finished coating the cereal. TWO IMPORTANT THINGS : 1. Never scrape the microwaved bowl to get out all the chocolate! Leave enough so you can clean it out with a spatula and eat it. What’s better than melted chocolate, peanut butter, and butter? 2. When you’re done with the parchment paper and have put the Puppy Chow in a container for storage, DON’T FORGET TO SCRAPE THE PARCHMENT to get off all that residual chocolate and powdered sugar and eat that too. 🙂

Good recipe. I reduced peanut butter to 1/2 cup based on other reviews and used one full cup of confectioners sugar at the end to get a nice coating. I also just mixed the powdered sugar in a bowl because a bag seemed like a bigger, unnecessary mess. Tasted great!

i love it all the student in my class love it too so ty

Came out good. Needs more than 1/3 c powdered sugar though!

Love/hate it! Love it because it tastes so good, hate it because I will eat it all!

Stirring and corn cereal do not “mix.” Save some time and crunched up cereal by using your hands in one of those huge metal wok-looking bowls… have no idea how anyone would stir this! Must have a lot more patience than I do. Just the recipe I was looking for though.

Great to send for a snack/party day you might want to add a bit more powdered sugar

A great simple recipe that is fun for kids to make. For a change try using white chocolate and adding cinnamon to the powdered sugar.

A classic recipe. Very good, only used half the amount of butter because it seemed like a lot. Next time I will try leaving it out all together.

Most importantly, if you don’t want to use a ton of powdered sugar – don’t use a paper bag. I started with the paper bag but it was way too sugar coated for us. With the second half of the batch I sprinkled powdered sugar on a deep cookie sheet and then layered the coated cereal and sprinkled powdered sugar over the top then mixed by hand breaking up the chunks to coat with a little powdered sugar. I also suggest that this be melted over low heat on the stove top. I melted in the micro stirring at 30 second intervals for a total of 1 min 30 sec and it was getting stiffer after the first minute. I followed other suggestions and used crispix and thought it was great. I didn’t have enough peanut butter so I threw in some nutella and I think this worked well although it did add more sugar. Overall pretty good treat in moderation.

I make this for the Holidays every year I also have a nephew that request every time we get together and send more to college with him. This is the recipe I have used for our Dog Club annual Banquet as a table favor for 140 people! I don’t really measure the peanut butter I use 2 serving spoon fulls and I don’t measure the powdered sugar I pour in about 1/4 of a 2lb bag (I found the perfect container for this is an 8quart plastic food prep container with lid from GFS) put the lid on and shake and roll add a bit more till it looks white bottom to top so you don’t get sticky fingers! You can use less sugar if you don’t heat the peanut butter and butter and chocolate too much just till it is all melted then I add a teaspoon of salt stir and pour over cereal.

one word. AMAZING. it may not look as good because they are in clumps, but that only make it better. LOVE IT (:

soooo good and a perfect recipe! made it in a tupperware and shook it up then poured over the powdered sugar. then shook it up some more and it covered them all perfectly! thanks for the recipe

I made this with a 3-year-old preschool class. I skipped the pb to avoid allergies. This is a great kid-friendly recipe!!! I gave each child a baggie with the squares covered in chocolate. Then, I dumped powdered sugar in the individual bag and let the children shake them up!
