Equipment

  • 2 Medium bowls
  • 1 Large bowl
  • 1 Gallon-size Ziplock bag

Ingredients 

  • 2 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoones pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • cup creamy peanut butter
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 cups Corn Chex cereal

Instructions

  • Place the Corn Chex in a large bowl, preferably with tall sides. Put the cereal to the side.
  • Whisk the powdered sugar and pumpkin pie spice together in a medium bowl, and set it aside.
  • In a separate, microwave-safe medium bowl, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, butter, and peanut butter.Heat the bowl in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each one until the mixture is smooth and somewhat thin. You don't want it too thick or it will clump up instead of coating the cereal.
  • Pour the chocolate over the cereal.Carefully fold the Chex and chocolate together until all of the pieces have been coated.
  • Spoon the mixture into a gallon-size plastic bag, and dump the powdered sugar mixture in with it. Shake the bag until all of the pieces are covered.
  • Pour into a large, shallow bowl or dish, and let it cool to room temperature so the chocolate sets. Sprinkle with a little extra pumpkin pie spice on top, if desired.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you have trouble getting a pourable chocolate mixture, try melting in 2 teaspoons of shortening or coconut oil.
  • Make sure you have a good grip on the ziplock top of the bag while you are shaking the puppy chow. You don't want the cereal flying out.
  • The Pumpkin Spice flavor will be light. Feel free to add extra to taste!
