Ingredients
6 cups Rice Chex cereal
1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
½ cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups powdered sugar
½ cup Reese’s mini peanut butter cups, chopped
½ cup M&M’s (or other orange and black chocolate candy)
½ cup candy eyes
½ cup candy corn
Instructions
- Prepare the Cereal: Place the Rice Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl.
- Make the Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Heat the mixture in the microwave for 1 minute, then stir until completely melted and smooth.
- Coat the Cereal: Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal and stir to coat evenly.
- Coat with Powdered Sugar: In a large resealable bag, add the powdered sugar. Add the coated cereal to the bag, seal it, and shake vigorously to coat completely.
- Add the Halloween Candies: Transfer the coated cereal to a large bowl, then stir in the chopped peanut butter cups, M&M’s, candy eyes, and candy corn. Gently mix to combine.
- Store: Store your Halloween Puppy Chow in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
Candy Mix-ins: You can switch up the candy mix-ins with mini marshmallows, pretzels, or other Halloween-themed candy.
Nut-Free Option: Swap the peanut butter for sunbutter or a nut-free butter alternative for a peanut-free version.
Chocolate Variations: Use white chocolate or dark chocolate chips instead of milk or semi-sweet chocolate for a new twist.
