Puppy Chow Bars

Ingredients

1. 7 cups chex cereal
2. 4 tbsp unsalted butter
3. 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
4. 1 cup creamy peanut butter
5. 1 bag mini marshmallows, 10 oz
6. 1 cup powdered sugar (or more as needed)

Instructions

1. Measure out 7 cups of chex cereal in a LARGE mixing bowl. Set aside.
2. In medium sized microwave safe mixing bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Microwave on 50% power at 1 minute intervals, stirring until melted.
3. Add in the peanut butter, microwave again on 50% power at 1 minute intervals, stirring until melted.
4. Add in the marshmallows, microwave on 50% power at 1 minute intervals, stirring until melted - the marshmallows will not melt completely, but will get puffy. The mixture will begin to get very thick but stir with a spatula.

1. Scoop this mixture over the chex cereal. Use a spatula (and some elbow grease, it is THICK!) to coat the cereal. You can also use your hands.
2. Once the cereal is well coated, transfer the cereal to a 9x13 inch baking pan and press it into the pan with your hands.
3. Allow the bars to cool completely - putting them in the fridge can speed up this process.
4. Cut the bars into squares. Place 1 cup of powdered sugar in a ziplock bag. Place one bar inside the bag, close and shake until the bar is coated in powdered sugar. Repeat with all the bars.
5. Place on a serving tray.
