Puppy Chow is a family favorite - I mean our extended family too, but it feels like such a mess to make and eat. Enter in the hybrid of Puppy Chow and Rice Krispie Treats - the Puppy Chow Bar! Sure you melt all the good things, butter, peanut butter, and chocolate but you add in marshmallows too. Normally with Puppy Chow you have to shake it in a bag with powdered sugar - oh man does that give one anxiety... you have the chance to cover your entire kitchen... in powdered sugar and sticky chocolatey cereal... no thanks. Pat this into a pan and give a heavy dusting of powdered sugar - easy. These bars are not heavy at all - they are light and easy to eat - sure you get powdered sugar all over but still SO good.
Puppy Chow Bars
7 cups Rice Chex cereal, (start with 5 cups and check consistency)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup (258 g) creamy peanut butter
¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, can use salted
1 bag (10 ounces) mini marshmallows
¼ cup (31 g) confectioners' sugar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the Chex cereal and set aside.
In a separate medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted.
Add in the mini marshmallows, stir to coat and return to the microwave, cooking again in 30-second intervals until the marshmallows start to puff and melt. The mixture should be thick and creamy.
Pour the marshmallow mixture over the Chex cereal and stir to coat. (Make sure to stir as much as you need in order to generously coat all of the cereal.)
Transfer the cereal mixture to a 9×13 inch greased baking pan and press it firmly into the pan. Set in the refrigerator to chill for 10-15 minutes.
Lightly coat the top of the bars with confectioners' sugar. Cut and serve!
