Gingerbread Puppy Chow
I hope people are familiar with the concept of puppy chow, otherwise you may be wondering why I’m talking about dog food. This snack is sometimes called Muddy Buddies, and the traditional version combines melted chocolate and peanut butter with Chex cereal, and then coats them with powdered sugar. For this holiday version we use Cinnamon Chex and first coat them with butter and molasses and then melted chocolate. For the final layer we mix them with a combination of powdered sugar, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves to give it a true gingerbread feel.
Ingredients
Method
- Place the Chex in a large bowl and set aside. Combine the powdered sugar, ginger, cinnamon, and clove in a small bowl and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat, then stir in the molasses until they are well combined. Pour this mixture over the Chex and toss the cereal until they are evenly coated.
- Place the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for thirty seconds, then stir. Continue microwaving in third second increments, stirring after each time, until the chocolate is fully melted. Pour the chocolate over the Chex and toss them until they are evenly coated with chocolate.
- Let the Chex cool for about 5 minutes, then pour in the powdered sugar mix. Toss the Chex until they are well coated with powdered sugar. If there is not enough powdered sugar to coat all the Chex, add another quarter cup and continue tossing. Make sure you are mixing with the bottom of the bowl, as the powdered sugar tends to fall to the bottom. Mix in the M&Ms, then serve.
