Ingredients
- 8 cups chex cereal
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cups red candy melts
- 2 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 one-gallon ziplock bags
- 1 1/2 cups Valentine’s m&ms
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet or cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Pour 8 cups Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 cups red candy melts, 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
- Microwave the mixture on high for 30 seconds, stir well, then continue microwaving in 15-second intervals until completely melted and smooth. This usually takes about 60 seconds total.
- Pour the melted candy mixture over the 8 cups Chex cereal and gently stir until the cereal is evenly coated. Work quickly so the coating does not harden.
- Divide 2 1/4 cups powdered sugar evenly between 2 one-gallon zip-top bags.
- Divide the coated cereal evenly between the two bags. Seal each bag tightly and shake until the cereal is completely coated in powdered sugar.
- Spread the coated puppy chow onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet and allow it to cool completely.
- Once cooled, add 1 1/2 cups Valentine’s M&M’s and gently stir to combine.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
