Puppy Chow Bars are a delicious, no-bake treat combining crunchy Chex cereal with melted peanut butter, chocolate chips, and marshmallows, all dusted with powdered sugar for a classic sweet snack bar perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 cups Chex cereal (any flavor)
  • 1 Tablespoon powdered sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 5 regular-size marshmallows (or 50 mini marshmallows)
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Melt mixture: In a large bowl, combine the marshmallows, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and creamy peanut butter. Microwave at 50% power for 45 seconds increments, stirring between each until fully melted and smooth.
  2. Combine with cereal: Once the chocolate, peanut butter, and marshmallow mixture is melted, immediately stir in the Chex cereal until all pieces are evenly coated.
  3. Press into pan: Transfer the mixture into an 8×8 inch baking dish. Press the mixture firmly to ensure it sticks together as a cohesive bar.
  4. Add powdered sugar: Sift the powdered sugar evenly over the top of the pressed bars.
  5. Cool and serve: Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature before cutting and serving.
  6. Storage: Store the bars in the fridge if you prefer firm bars, or at room temperature for a softer texture.

Notes

  • Microwaving at 50% power helps prevent burning the marshmallows and chocolate.
  • The type of Chex cereal flavor can be chosen to suit your taste preference.
  • Press firmly to ensure the bars hold together well.
  • Adjust powdered sugar amount for sweetness preference.
  • For an extra touch, add chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before cooling.
