My quest to share easy holiday recipes continues! The kids and I made a huge batch of Puppy Chow this weekend. It’s super easy to make and it’s sooooo good! This is a great snack to put in those cute decorative cellophane bags and give to your neighbors or co-workers. Our crew at the radio station usually fights over this, so I make a lot! I hit up the Dollar Tree or Deals and get cute holiday tubs and containers and use them for little gifts filled with sweet treats!  Have fun!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Peanut Butter
1/4 cup Butter
1 cup Chocolate Chips
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
9 cups Crispix cereal (any flavor)
1-1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
Instructions:
1. Combine peanut butter, butter and chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl.
2. Microwave for one minute then stir to blend all ingredients thoroughly. Add 1/2 tsp. vanilla. Stir well.
3. Place the 9 cups of Crispix cereal in a very large bowl.
4. Pour the peanut butter-chocolate mixture over the cereal and toss evenly, making sure all the cereal gets a good covering.
5. Coat with powdered sugar, sprinkling evenly over the cereal and tossing as you sprinkle to cover each piece well.

Note: I put the cereal with the chocolate/ peanut butter mixture in a gallon Ziploc bag and then pour the powdered sugar over it. Zip it up and shake it to cover with the sugar. Doing it in a big bowl is too messy.
