Valentine Puppy Chow is a festive and delicious twist on the classic puppy chow snack, featuring a creamy peanut butter and chocolate coating mixed with crispy Chex cereal, dusted with powdered sugar, and adorned with red and pink M&Ms and sprinkles to celebrate the season of love.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Peanut Butter Coating

  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Main Ingredients

  • 9 cups Chex cereal
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup red and pink M&Ms
  • Sprinkles of your choice (red, pink, and white recommended)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, butter, and milk chocolate chips to prepare the chocolate-peanut butter coating.
  2. Microwave and Stir: Microwave the mixture for 1 minute, then stir thoroughly until the mixture is fully melted and creamy, ensuring that all ingredients are well blended.
  3. Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the chocolate peanut butter mixture.
  4. Coat the Cereal: Pour the chocolate mixture over the Chex cereal in a large bowl with a cover. Close the cover tightly and shake vigorously until every piece of cereal is evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
  5. Add Powdered Sugar: Sprinkle the powdered sugar over the coated cereal, cover the bowl again, and shake until the powdered sugar is evenly distributed, giving the puppy chow its characteristic dusting.
  6. Add M&Ms and Sprinkles: Mix in the red and pink M&Ms along with your choice of festive sprinkles to complete this Valentine-themed treat. Gently stir to combine.

Notes

  • Make sure to use creamy peanut butter for easier melting and coating.
  • If you prefer, you can use dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate.
  • For a crunchier texture, allow the coated puppy chow to cool and set before serving.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for optimum freshness.
  • This snack is perfect for Valentine’s parties or gifting in decorative bags.
