PUPPY CHOW/ MUDDY BUDDY

Steps:

• Measure out the 9 cups of Chex cereal into a large bowl, set aside.
• In a grocery bag, or large plastic bag, measure out 2 cups of powdered sugar and set aside.
• In a large saucepan, measure out the butter, peanut butter, and chocolate chips.
• Melt the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter together in the saucepan over low heat. Don't turn the heat on the stove up too high, or you will burn it. It should take a few minutes to completely melt this mixture.
• Pour this melted chocolate mixture over the 9 cups Chex in the large bowl. Stir it all together, making sure that all the pieces of Chex are covered in the melted chocolate.
• Pour this chocolate Chex mixture into the plastic bag with powdered sugar in it. Tie the bag and throw the bag around until all the Chex pieces are coated in a layer of powdered sugar. If you want to add more powdered sugar to your preference, you can. I usually add about 1 and half more cups.
• Open the bag and pour out into a bowl to enjoy! Perfect for parties or to just snack on!

PUMPKIN PUPPY CHOW

Steps:

• In a large double boiler melt the coconut oil, chocolate chips, and peanut butter. Mix well and then fold in the pumpkin puree until smooth. Add the vanilla and 2 teaspoons of the pumpkin pie spice. At this point I recommend tasting the mixture. If you still want it more-spiced add the additional spice a little at a time until it has the flavor you want.
• Take the top bowl/pot off the double boiler and carefully fold in the cereal, 1 cup at a time. Once all of the cereal is coated transfer to a 2 gallon zip-top bag. Add half of the powdered sugar to the bag, seal, and shake to coat. Let the cereal cool for about 15-20 minutes and then repeat with the remainder of the powdered sugar.
