Puppy Chow

I have recently heard people say they have never heard nor ever tried "puppy chow" aka "muddy buddies". I was shocked! I decided to post the recipe for all those who have never tried it & also for all those who absolutely LOVE it. Enjoy!

Ingredients
9 c. Corn Chex®, Rice Chex®, Wheat Chex® or Chocolate Chex® cereal (or combination)
1 c. semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 c. peanut butter
1/4 c. butter or margarine
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. powdered sugar

Directions
1. Into large bowl, measure cereal; set aside.
2. In 1-quart microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter uncovered on High 1 minute; stir. Microwave about 30 seconds longer or until mixture can be stirred smooth. Stir in vanilla. Pour mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated. Pour into 2-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag (or in a large bowl that has a lid).
3. Add powdered sugar. Seal bag; shake until well coated. Spread on waxed paper to cool (I have never done that. I just leave it in the bowl or zipper bag). Store in airtight container in refrigerator.

Be sure you have evenly coated the cereal with the chocolate

Finished product - yummy!
