Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups Chex cereal
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Place cereal in a large mixing bowl. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl melt semi-sweet chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Heat for 30 seconds at a time mixing in between until melted and smooth.
  • Pour melted chocolate over cereal and toss to coat. Gently mix to coat.
  • Add in powdered sugar and again gently mix to coat. Place in your prepared baking sheet to dry.

Notes

Tip: If you don't want to use a microwave you can melt all of this in a saucepan on the stove top. I'd recommend using a double boiler just to be safe.
Is Puppy Chow gluten-free? This would depend on the ingredients you use. If you need this to be gluten-free make sure to buy corn check cereal.
Also double-check all other ingredients to make sure they are made gluten-free. Ingredients can vary from brand to brand.
Do I need to refrigerate this recipe? These muddy buddies can be stored at room temperature for up to 7 days in an airtight container.
My bet is you will eat them pretty quickly but store them in an airtight container in the fridge and they will last longer than 7 days.
