Ingredients
Cereal Mix
- 5 cups Golden Grahams cereal (divided)
- 4 cups Chex cereal
Chocolate Mixture
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup Nutella or peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Additional Ingredients
- 2 cups mini marshmallows (divided)
Instructions
- Prepare the powdered sugar bag: Pour the powdered sugar into a gallon-sized freezer bag and set it aside for coating later.
- Melt the chocolate mixture: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and Nutella or peanut butter. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir again and microwave for an additional 20 seconds until fully melted and smooth.
- Combine cereals: In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of the Golden Grahams and all 4 cups of Chex cereal, mixing gently to distribute evenly.
- Add marshmallows to chocolate mix: Mix 1 cup of the mini marshmallows into the warm melted chocolate and Nutella mixture, stirring to coat them slightly.
- Coat the cereal: Pour the chocolate and marshmallow mixture over the cereal blend. Mix thoroughly to ensure all cereal pieces are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
- Shake in powdered sugar: Transfer the coated cereal mixture into the prepared freezer bag containing powdered sugar. Seal the bag tightly and shake vigorously until the cereal is fully coated with powdered sugar.
- Fold in remaining ingredients: Open the bag and fold in the remaining 1 cup of Golden Grahams and 1 cup of mini marshmallows gently to preserve their texture.
- Cool and set: Spread the final mixture onto a lined baking sheet and allow it to cool and set for 5 to 10 minutes before serving or storing.
Notes
- You can substitute peanut butter for Nutella to alter the flavor.
- Ensure marshmallows are folded in gently at the end to keep them from melting or breaking.
- Store the puppy chow in an airtight container to keep it fresh for up to one week.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free cereals.
- If you prefer a less sweet snack, reduce the powdered sugar slightly or omit the Nutella and use just chocolate chips.
