How many cups chex in box

That sounds like a great way to healthify this recipe a little bit. I like to put in large brown grocery bag and shake it, add powdered sugar and shake some more…gently. Open and tear to open bag completely and cool right into opened bag. Put in baggies once cooled completely.

Fantastic recipe. Ooo yum! Delicious recipe. Easy and fun to make. Great advice about powdered sugar! This is great! Helps it not break to pieces and mixes well. My late Grandma used to make this every Christmas.

Thankfully I found her recipe here! This recipe is the best. I like that I can use up a whole bag of chips and a whole box of cereal at one time. So much better!! Love the way you wrote this recipe.

Yum yum yum. I like you two. It is simple! How many cups for 12 oz of choc chips? I bought a large bag and only need 12 oz for recipe. Loved it. Soooo good!! Good work! My problem…he wants it for Christmas. I know in previous years I have made him double batches that has lasted him about 3 weeks from date made with no complaints.

But I would think you could make it, and freeze it. Put the puppy chow in the package, straight from the freezer. Put around it anything that could insulate it and keep it cold. Hopefully they will take long enough to warm up that it gets to him fresh and ready to eat.

I hope this helps. And thank you to your grandson for his service! I made this particular recipe the very first time I made puppy chow. And about half a bag of powdered sugar. Empty bowls every time I take it for a get together!

Sooo easy and delicious! This would be delicious with roasted almonds and honey nut cheerios. Better than i remember! Super easy!! Fam loved it! Easy to make! Fun to eat!! We were tempted to not share with our 6 babies ;-. Made this recipe over the past weekend and it was absolutely amazing!!! I was trying to replicate a bakery that makes it near me and I have to say that it was just as good if not better!

I also used a couple tupperware containers to coat the puppy chow with powdered sugar, just pour in and add the sugar and shake until you get the desired coverage. Thanks so much for this amazing recipe! I will be adding this one to my cook book:. Came out perfect! Measurements make more sense than others thats for sure lol also the perfect amount of chocolate and peanut butter! Best muddy buddy recipe out there. I hated wasting the remaining cereal.

This ones perfect. Made this recipe tonight, it taste awesome. I was so happy that I came across your recipe, Thank you so much for posting it. The first time I made them per the recipe and they were amazing! Yesterday I made them again but changed it up a little by using a box of regular Rice Chex and a box of the Chocolate Chex.

I also used a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips and a bag of white chocolate chips. Thanks for sharing!!! Only used half a bag of powdered sugar and it came out perfect. It was great but our family shakes up the chow with powdered sugar in a bag!!

To cut the calories , I added chow mein noodles, raisins,peanuts dried cherries cut in small pieces,and pretzels. I did one batch where I put everything in the chocolate but the raisins and cherries. And I did another where I put in my extra ingredients after the powdered sugared regular puppy chow. My husband does not like super sweet things except me LOL. So I added my extras plus his I gtta have. Seasame sticks. I must say children like the original the best!

Salted butter? Salted or unsalted butter? Verry Yummy! I love the personality shown in this recipe hahaha. I kind of always have used extra peanut butter and chocolate chips. I also think they are super good coming out of the fridge.

They are good either way but cold is my favorite! Thanks for sharing! Thanks Sabrina! I love it chilled as well! The kids have a hard time waiting so we have a small portion each while warm and then some more once chilled after supper!

I always make 2 batches, one with A bag of semi sweet chocolate chips and a whole cup of peanut butter, and one with a whole bag of White chocolate chips and a cup of peanut butter! I always hated it when people would make puppy chow with Life cereal or something, then barely covered it with powdered sugar at all, the texture was never right and i was always disappointed. Very good, nice peanut buttery taste, but waaaayyyyy too much confectioners sugar.

It made it too sweet, no flavor enhancer, just sweet. I put it in a colander, gave it a little gentle shake which removed a lot of the 10x, and it was great. The next time I made this I added a couple of heaping teaspoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to the coating sugar, mixed it really, really well, and then used it one he chow. Excellent, it cut the sugaryness, added a hint of cocoa, and was really yummy.

Thanks for the recipe. Delicious rendition on an old favorite! Enjoyed your recipe story. I did decrease the powdered sugar, but as you said — preferences. Awesome sauce! I substituted Peanut butter Chex for 5 cups and Chocolate chex for 5 cups and it was fabulous!!! Thanks for the easy to follow directions!! Well, we have our own little pitch about this dessert but we try new things so we tried this recipe and we also added green and red sprinkles for the christmas holiday and the kids named it reindeer chow and ooooooooooohhhh was it the best dessert that they have yet to make..

Aww so cute!! Not bad but way too much sugar. The sugar stopped sticking and just sat at bottom of the bowl. One lb. Delicious, SO easy to make. Easy and not to time consuming plus it taste great. Paper grocery bags are also wonderful for this! Just fold over the top. Do you mean to coat with the powered sugar use brown paper bag? Best tasting dessert Ever! Would definitely, recommend to anyone who is looking for a quick, bake-Free, little ingredient dessert.

Takes about 10 minutes to make. I love that the whole box is used. I will say, it seemed to be way too much powdered sugar at our house for some reason. We probably left a good cup or more in the bag and mixed it up. There was so much loose in the bowl.

I actually did go on to shake some make off of the cereal to make it easier to pack for on the go snacks. So, I ended up shaking the cereal off in a metal colander. Just my two cents! You can do what you want! Thanks for the recipe! So glad you enjoyed! Hi Jennifer! I also grew up with this and it is one of my favorite things to make for parties. If you have dairy and peanut allergies what else can you use instead? I doubled the recipe though because I had a 24 oz bag of chocolate chips. Thanks for the inspiration!

Hi Kate! I am not a cook… what I cook does not turn out well. The next day after storing in an airtight container , the chow is even more rubbery. I love puppychow, but this taste more like dogfood.

What did I do wrong? Sounds like old cereal is the issue! But you understand me. Right down to the garbage bag. The recipe is brilliant. I will say, to whom it may concern some people may think of this as actual puppy chow to give to their dog.

Only because the name of the recipe. I do not mean for anyone to take this negatively. I myself thought it was a recipe I was clicking for an actual puppy food homemade tutorial. I am bringing this to the surface in light of dog owners who may be not as competent as others. Thanks so much Briana! Crunchy, chocolate, and peanut buttery treat! What a wonderful combination! The confectionery finish dresses the pieces up like the beignets at Cafe du Monde.

It was easy and fun to make. We always called it snowflakes growing up. And I agree with you. Love that name!! GFS still uses food grade plastic for their garbage bags. A friend of mine works for them as a non-foods marketing specialist and, after mentioning this at a presentation, a woman proceeded to lick a bag. Just made, and this came out awesome! Thank you. How long can this safely last is stored? Trying to see how far it can go as far as gifts because there is so much, and we have a party Friday too.

Thanks so much Christy! Store in sealed airtight container or ziplock baggies at room temperature for a week or so! We make ours using a paper bag from the grocery store. Works great! My nephew has asked me to make this for him, but it needs to stay crispy long enough to go through the mail; in my experience, it tends to go soft by the next day. Do you have any tips on this? Also, the recipe I have makes this with golden grams instead of chex, so that might be a fun thing to try.

Hi Jen! I know this post is older, so I hope someone can and will answer my question. If I only have salted butter, is it OK to use or will the salt throw the taste out of whack?!?! Hi Meagan! Hope you both love it as much as we do! We call it trash or garbage because, you listed the reason above…. We called it trash growing up—my brother and I would throw a trash bag filled with it back and forth to mix.

Class reunion this weekend — perfect! You guys are adorable! Thanks for sharing this with us. We have always called it trash or white trash. Just like you said…shake it up in a trash bag! Your recipe looks amazing!! After small morning wedding ceremony we all have a road trip to the beach of 5 hrs, this will be perfect!!!

Thanks so much Norma!! Congrats to your daughter!!! Hope you all enjoy the puppy chow! Can you use regular milk chocolate chips for this recipe instead of the semi sweet chips? Your writing style is even more delicious than your recipe. Thanks for the fun, fun, humor! I never comment on anything, ever. However, I just had to say, thanks so much for making me chuckle. You are so witty! This is THE best puppy chow I have ever made. Everyone needs this recipe in their life!

I had never heard of puppy chow until recently. I read a lot of different recipes and decided to try yours and…. The stirring made me nervous but the cereal held up and the final product is so addicting. Your snobbery is now my snobbery!

Thanks for a definite crowd-pleaser! Very excited to try this! My husband and I are making a bunch of treats as Christmas gifts this year, and we thought puppy chow would be a simple one to make a bunch of at once. Yours was the first one I clicked on, and like many of the other people who have commented, you had me at more of everything!

Very excited to try this and eat the leftovers we have! I just wanted to share my secret ingredient for puppy chow that kicks it up a notch for peanut butter lovers… I throw a bunch of powdered peanut butter in with the powdered sugar.

I know, right? Just tried your recipe, and I am in love! We used Crispix instead of Chex and not as much powdered sugar, and we all loved it.
