Description
Vegan puppy chow, muddy buddies, reindeer food… whatever you choose to call this chocolate-y sugar-y treat, I've got the recipe for you!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups vegan chocolate chips
- 2/3 cup peanut butter*
- 1/3 cup vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 box of Chex cereal (about 11 cups)
- 3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a large glass measuring cup, add the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and vegan butter. Melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals, until the mixture is completely melted.
- Add the vanilla extract to the melted chocolate, and stir to combine.
- Add the Chex cereal to a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal and mix until all of the cereal is well coated.
- Sprinkle the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time over the Chex, and mix until all of the Chex are coated in powdered sugar. You can also add the chocolate-covered Chex with the powdered sugar to a Ziploc bag, and shake until everything is well coated.
- Let the Chex sit for 10-15 minutes to harden, and enjoy!
