Description

Brownie Batter Puppy Chow is a delicious no-bake snack made by coating rice cereal squares with a rich chocolate-butter mixture, then tossing them in a blend of dry brownie mix and powdered sugar. This sweet and crunchy treat is perfect for parties or an easy dessert fix, delivering the flavors of fudgy brownies in a fun, bite-sized form.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 6 cups rice cereal squares (like Chex)
  • 1/2 cup dry brownie mix
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Chocolate Mixture

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cereal: Place the 6 cups of rice cereal squares in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Add Flavoring: Stir 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon salt into the melted chocolate mixture to enhance the taste.
  4. Coat the Cereal: Pour the chocolate mixture over the rice cereal in the large bowl and gently stir to coat all the cereal evenly with the chocolate.
  5. Mix Dry Toppings: In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup dry brownie mix and 1/4 cup powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly.
  6. Combine and Coat: Transfer the chocolate-coated cereal into a large zip-top bag or a clean bowl with a lid. Pour the brownie mix and powdered sugar blend over the coated cereal. Seal the container and shake vigorously until the cereal is well coated with the dry mixture.
  7. Cool and Set: Spread the coated puppy chow evenly on a baking sheet to cool and dry for about 20 minutes. This helps the sugar mixture set on the cereal for the perfect texture.
  8. Serve or Store: After cooling, serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later snacking.

Notes

  • Use heat-treated brownie mix to ensure safety for consumption as it may contain raw flour.
  • Add mini chocolate chips or crushed pretzels for extra texture and crunch.
  • This treat freezes well, making it perfect for make-ahead snacking and longer storage.
