Vegan Puppy Chow. It’s not brinner, it’s bressert.

VEGAN PUPPY CHOW

prep time: 5 minutes
cook time: 5 minutes

I don’t how it got that name either.

This one is very simple and requires only a handful of ingredients. It’s gluten free too. I made a big bowl of it so those will be the proportions I’m demonstrating.

What you’ll need:

vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips
peanut butter
vegan butter
rice chex-like cereal
powdered sugar (double check that it’s vegan?)

In a small pot, add a big knob of vegan butter to a low flame. Don’t screw up step one by burning the butter. Throw three tablespoons of peanut butter in there and half a bag of chocolate chips. Feel free to adjust the ratio to your liking but this was mine.

You can sneak a taste if you want I guess!

Stir that up for only a few because it will melt down quickly. Once homogenous, kill the flame and keep stirring until completely smooth. Remove the pot from that burner too so it doesn’t overcook.

In a big bowl, add a layer of rice chex.

Scoop a big honking’ spatula-full of chocolate mixture onto your chex. Stir that up and then add more chex. Then more chocolate and repeat until you are out of chocolate.

Now you have a big bowl of chocolate covered chex in front of you.

Let it cool down for a second and then transfer all of your chocolate chex to a big ziplock bag.

Add about a cup of powdered sugar into the bag with the chex, seal it and give it a good shake so everything is covered. If you need to add more sugar, add little by little to avoid clumps.

Transfer your powdered sugar-covered chocolate chex into a new bowl so it doesn’t look sloppy.

This is still the former bowl. You can sneak a taste if you want I guess!

Stick your new bowl of puppy chow into the fridge for at least 20 minutes to cool down.
