Cookies and Cream Puppy Chow
No Peanut Butter Puppy Chow
The origins of Puppy Chow are a bit murky, but it’s safe to say that the recipe was inspired by the classic Chex Mix recipe. Most recipes include peanut butter in the base because it does amazing things to this classic treat! However, I wanted the flavor of Oreos and chocolate to really shine through, so I developed a recipe that everyone, even folks with peanut allergies, could enjoy!
How to Store Cookies and Cream Puppy Chow
Cookies and cream puppy chow can be stored in an airtight container or zipped bag at room temperature. It will last up to 2 weeks. However, I highly doubt it will last more than a few days once you start eating it!
Ingredients
▢1 ½ cups (273 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips▢6 cups (162 g) Rice Chex cereal▢32 Oreo cookies, ½ finely chopped, ½ quartered▢¾ cup (94 g) confectioners' sugar
Instructions
To a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips. Heat in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth.
To a large bowl, add the cereal and finely chopped Oreo cookies.
Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal and cookies, gently stirring until the cereal is evenly coated.
Carefully pour the mixture into a large plastic bag that seals. Pour the confectioners' sugar over and seal the bag. Shake until every piece is coated in sugar.
To the bag, add the quartered Oreo cookies. Again, seal the bag and gently shake to incorporate.
Spread the puppy chow onto a large sheet of parchment paper or waxed paper. Let sit until cool and the chocolate is set.
