Puppy Chow

I love the combination of chocolate and peanut butter - add even more crunchy goodness into it and you'll have me swooning. I had this recipe forwarded to me and I'm going to give it a try tomorrow. In the meanwhile, I thought I'd share:

Puppy Chow (also known as "Monkey Crunch")

12 oz. bag of chocolate chips
1 cup of peanut butter
1 stick of butter (yes, use the real stuff)
Large box of Crispix or Chex cereal
2 1/2 cups of confectioner's sugar

You can add anything else you'd like but just remember the mixure may be warm and things may melt and not be so scrumptious.

Place the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave them until they are melted and then stir to combine. Pour this liquidy gold mixture over the cereal and coat well. In a large paper bag, put in the confectioner's sugar and add coated cereal. Shake well and pour onto waxed paper. Eat and enjoy!

I had forgotten about this recipe. I loved this as a kid. I may have to make some up!

Hi! I saw this post and had to comment. An old roommate used to make this- actually when I lived in Arcata! Anyway, it is *so good*. Don't make it if you're on a diet.

Love your blog- especially those duckies!

Oooooh, this is one of my favorites. Trying to eat healthy. Trying to lose weight. Must. Not. Make. This. Treat.
