One of my favorite things to make is puppy chow, otherwise known as muddy buddies and Carolina trash. This treat is so easy to make and it taste amazing! Chex Mix has now created their own version, but nothing taste better than the homemade one.
Ingredients:
¾ box of Chex (either Rice or Corn)
2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup of nutella or peanut butter
1 tspn vanilla extract (optional)
Approximately ½ cup powdered sugar (may require more or less)
The Recipe:
1. Melt the chocolate in either the microwave or on the stove top, then add the vanilla extract, and peanut butter or nutella. (WARNING: if you use nutella you need to move very quickly with the next step, because the combination of melted chocolate and nutella cause the mixture to “seize up” to where it cannot be moved) (if this happens, you can make molten cakes…recipe to follow)
2. Pour the chex into a bowl; then cover with the warm concoction prepared in step 1. Mix until all of the chex are completely covered in the chocolate mixture.
3. After this, pour the contents into a bag with the powdered sugar. Shake the bag until the puppy chow looks like the above picture. Be careful because too much powdered sugar does not taste very good. I usually try to slowly add the sugar by maybe ¼ a cup or so until it is my desired thickness
*Note: Sometimes the quantity of chex or powdered sugar can vary based on the consistency of the chocolate and peanut butter/nutella mixture. The nutella makes a thicker liquid than the peanut butter so it is sometimes harder to combine with the chex. This is one of those recipes that will never taste bad if you like the ingredients
