Superbowl Snacks: Puppy Chow

As we mentioned in Superbowl Snacks: Rolo Pretzel Delights, we are really excited for the Superbowl! The Superbowl would not be fit without some snacks to munch on, so here is the recipe for the last snack we plan on taking to our Superbowl parties: Puppy Chow.

Ingredients
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
9 cups original/plain ChexMix square cereal
2 cups powdered sugar

Pour the nine (9) cups of original/plain Chex Mix square cereal into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, melt the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter/margarine in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Remove the bowl from the microwave as soon as the chocolate chips have melted. Add and stir in the vanilla extract.

Next, pour the melted chocolate mixture into the large bowl of Chex Mix square cereal, making sure to coat the cereal mix with chocolate (using a spatula to disperse the chocolate is best).

Lastly, pour the powdered sugar into a 2-gallon ziplock bag and proceed to spoon in the chocolate-covered Chex Mix cereal. Seal the ziplock bag and shake it to thoroughly coat the cereal mixture with powdered sugar.

Ingredients

1 bag of pretzels
1 bag of Rolos
1 bag of glazed pecans

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Meanwhile, lay about 16 pretzels onto a pan with aluminum foil (or parchment paper). Top each pretzel with Rolos. Place the Rolo-covered pretzels into the oven, baking for 3-5 minutes or until the chocolates have fully melted. Take the pretzels out of the oven and quickly top it with a glazed pecan. 

{As easy as 1, 2, 3!}

Who will you be rooting for while you're munching?
