Peanut Butter Brownie Puppy Chow Printer-Friendly Recipe

From: Your Cup of Cake

Ingredients

6 C. rice Chex cereal

1 C. milk chocolate melts or chips

1/2 C. peanut butter, creamy

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 C. brownie mix, from the box

Optional (but highly recommended): Brownies, Reese’s Pieces, or Peanut butter cups (chopped)

Directions

Pour cereal into a large bowl; set aside. Melt chocolate, peanut butter, and vanilla extract in a small bowl in the microwave until melted, about 30 seconds. Stir until smooth and pour over the cereal. Fold until evenly distributed. Add in 1 cup of boxed brownie mix and mix until coated. This would also work by shaking in a large plastic bag or in a pot with a lid over the top. Now time for the add-ons, I added bite-sized pieces of brownies and cut up 10 mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups; toss together. Eat and enjoy!

Make some brownies, prepare according to box directions or make homemade brownies. Let the brownies cool completely.

Pour cereal into a large bowl.

Melt together chocolate, peanut butter, and vanilla in a microwave.

Stir until smooth. Don’t overcook it like I did, then it ends up clumpy and kind of hard to work into the cereal. Microwave for 30 seconds and then check how it is. Stir and microwave for 10 seconds more, if needed.
