I am pretty sure that Erin and I were meant to be BFFs. There’s this little thing called an ocean separating us currently (oh wait, I have that with my other BFF as well), but I still think it’s meant to be.
We share a love for party planning (and hot air balloons), making stuff for our Smooches (hers are similar in age to mine), decorating, list making, and traveling (though she has a way cooler home base/launching spot than I do). Even more, I just adore Erin’s sweet and encouraging heart. BFF resume aside, I also love the fact that she’s here to share an awesome puppy chow recipe for Winter Whites-
#1-Your friend who loves to cook. Her recipes are tried and true. 
I am friend #2. And I have something so easy and so yummy up my sleeve. It chocolatey, crunchy, sweet, slightly salty, and it will cure what ails you. Want a peek?
You have very likely had this somewhere before, and if you are not making it on a semi-regular basis, NOW IS THE TIME TO START!! It is the all-purpose snack (a-hem, perfect Superbowl Sunday snack), and it’s so easy I wanna cry!
If you aren’t convinced, let me remind you that all cooking takes place in a microwave and all decorating takes place in a sealed plastic bag. 
Gather your ingredients.
Put butter, chocolate, and peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes until the ingredients are completely melted, removing once to stir. 
While the chocolate mixture is in the microwave, set up a little assembly line.Pour your Chex into a large bowl, set a strainer in another bowl, and pour your powdered sugar into a large zip lock bag.
Pour your melted chocolate mixture over the Chex, 
and stir it around until the cereal is well coated. Make sure that as many of those tiny little holes are filled with chocolate as possible.
Grab a big scoop of the chocolate-covered Chex and spoon it into the bag with the powdered sugar. 
Close the bag and shake it around until all of the pieces are well coated in white.
Dump the Chex into the strainer, shake off the excess powdered sugar, then pour the cereal onto wax paper to allow it to cool and dry.
Return the excess powdered sugar to the bag, and continue to coat all of the chocolate Chex in powdered sugar. 
Or you can just start nibbling on it right away. I always do.
Put it in a pretty bowl, set it out, start eating it. Enjoy!
Man I love this stuff. It’s dangerous though, I always end up eating way more than I planned 🙂
Jen, I have that problem with all sweets- haha! I’m sure this recipe will not be the exception to that rule. 🙂
oh yum. looks incredibly unhealthy so it probably tastes amazing! 🙂
true and true! 🙂
Aww, you’re so sweet! I loved this intro. 🙂 I’m always so happy to make an appearance on your beautiful blog!
As an added bonus, puppy chow always makes me very thirsty, and I always end up drinking a whole glass of water with a small bowl of it. Extra water incentive? Perhaps!
I will take any water drinking incentive- can’t wait to try this recipe! Thanks again for joining us…
This looks addicting. Yum! I am so happy you joined us for Winter Whites Erin!
Looks like trouble, right? 🙂
