Fortunately my mother came up with a way for me to enjoy this wonderful-sounding dessert. Instead of using peanut butter, she used butterscotch chips. My husband, after he tried this for the first time, said it was even better than the original puppy chow. This stuff is so good my family has it every year at our New Year's celebration.
So, without further ado, here's the recipe:
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 6 cups Kellog's Crispix cereal (Non-name brand is fine as well)
- 1 cup confectioner's sugar (aka powdered sugar)
- In a large microwave-safe bolw, melt chocolate and butterscotch chips on high for 1 minute. Stir and heat an additional 30 seconds on high or until melted.
- Pour mixture over cereal.
- Place cereal in 2-gallon zip-top bag. Add coated cereal to sugar and close bag tightly. Toss bag until cereal is thoroughly. coated with sugar.
- Store in airtight container in refrigerator.
My Take
When making this to take pictures for this blog, it was honestly the first time I've ever made this. I grew up eating it, but never participated in the creation of it. Fortunately, it was super easy to put together, and takes less time than chex mix. Be careful, though. You may find it slightly addicting!
