Snickers Puppy Chow is a deliciously addictive snack mix combining crunchy Chex cereal, melted chocolate, caramel, buttery richness, roasted peanuts, and a generous dusting of confectioners’ sugar.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Mixture

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup store-bought or homemade caramel sauce
  • 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt

Main Ingredients

  • 7 cups Chex cereal
  • 1 1/2 cups roasted, salted peanuts
  • 2 cups (230 g) confectioners’ sugar

Instructions

  1. Melt Chocolate Mixture: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semisweet chocolate chips, caramel sauce, and unsalted butter. Stir frequently until the mixture is melted and smooth, which should take about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the pure vanilla extract and kosher salt to enhance the flavor.
  2. Coat Cereal: Place the 7 cups of Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the warm chocolate and caramel mixture over the cereal. Gently toss using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring each piece of cereal is evenly coated without breaking the pieces.
  3. Add Peanuts and Sugar: Fold in the roasted, salted peanuts to distribute them evenly among the coated cereal. Then add the confectioners’ sugar and toss the mixture thoroughly until the cereal is well coated in the sweet powdered sugar, creating a deliciously sticky and sweet finish.

Notes

  • Ensure the heat remains low when melting the chocolate mixture to prevent burning.
  • Use a large bowl to prevent spillage while tossing the cereal.
  • Store the puppy chow in an airtight container to keep it fresh for up to a week.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the peanuts or replace with seeds like pumpkin seeds.
  • If homemade caramel sauce is used, ensure it is smooth and not too thick for easy mixing.
