How to Make Puppy Chow Candy

  1. Melt 12 ounces of chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of peanut butter, and 1/4 cup of margarine in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and melted.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  3. In a large bowl, pour in 9 cups of your favorite cereal (like Chex).
  4. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal and stir gently until all the cereal pieces are evenly coated.
  5. Add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, to the coated cereal. Seal the bowl with a lid and shake vigorously until the cereal is thoroughly coated and appears white.
  6. Pour the Puppy Chow onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
