Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 6 cups Chex cereal
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Melt Chocolate and Peanut Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted.
  2. Combine with Cereal and Coconut: Place the Chex cereal and shredded coconut in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the cereal and coconut. Gently fold to coat all pieces evenly without crushing the cereal.
  3. Coat with Powdered Sugar: Transfer the coated cereal mixture to a large sealable plastic bag. Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag, and gently shake until every piece is thoroughly coated with powdered sugar. Spread the puppy chow on a baking sheet to cool and set before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use sweetened shredded coconut to mimic the classic Samoas flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Mix gently to avoid breaking the cereal pieces during coating.
  • This recipe is quick and requires no baking, making it ideal for last-minute snacks.
