 I think this recipe came from my step mother.  We all really like it.

Puppy Chow

This recipe came from the Burlington Welsh Male Chorus cookbook. The name alone was so interesting I just had to try it. It is a wonderful snack. I made 1/2 the recipe which Dan ate before I could take a photo. So another batch was made today and I took the photo right then.

Puppy Chow

Ingredients:

1 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter
8 - 9 cups Crispex cereal
2 cups icing sugar

Directions:

In medium sized bowl over simmering water.
Melt chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter, until smooth.
In a large bowl add Crispex Cereal.
Pour melted chocolate mixture over cereal.
Toss lightly to coat cereal.
In a paper bag add icing sugar and put cereal mixture in, and shake to coat. (I tried this and decided to just add the icing sugar to the bowl of cereal mixture and toss lightly. It seemed to work fine. Found the bag a bit messy.)
Store in air tight container.
