Patriotic Puppy Chow
Ingredients
- 3 cups 3½ rice Chex cereal 200 grams
- 1 cup 1 roasted, salted peanuts 142 grams
- 1 cup 1 white chocolate chips 170 grams
- 135 cup ½ creamy peanut butter grams
- 57 cup ¼ salted butter grams (½ stick)
- 1 cup 1 powdered sugar 113 grams
- 1 cup 1 red, white, and blue M&M's 200 grams
- 1 cup 1 white chocolate covered pretzels 120 grams, left whole or roughly chopped
- 96 cup ½ patriotic sprinkles grams
Instructions
- Combine the rice Chex cereal and roasted salted peanuts in a large bowl and set aside.
- In a microwavable bowl, place the white chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and salted butter. Microwave in 15-second intervals until melted and smooth, stirring between intervals to avoid overcooking.
- Pour the melted mixture over the cereal and peanuts in the large bowl. Stir gently until everything is well-coated.
- Transfer the coated cereal mixture to a large Ziploc bag. Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake until everything is evenly coated. If needed, add more powdered sugar to ensure the cereal is fully covered.
- Remove the mixture from the bag and transfer it back to a large bowl. Add the red, white, and blue M&Ms, white chocolate covered pretzels, and patriotic sprinkles. Stir gently to combine.
- Enjoy your festive and delicious patriotic puppy chow mix!
