Sweet and Salty Puppy Chow Recipe (Chocolate Peanut Butter Snack Mix)
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 6 1/2 ounces chopped bittersweet or dark chocolate or chocolate chips
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup white miso paste
- 8 cups crispy rice cereal squares
- 3 cups powdered sugar, divided
Instructions
- 1
In a medium saucepan, heat butter over medium-high until melted. Continue to cook, stirring and swirling skillet frequently, until the butter begins to turn golden brown and smells nutty, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in cayenne and quickly transfer to a small bowl; set aside. Do not clean saucepan.
4 min - 2
Melt chocolate chips in now-empty saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in peanut butter and miso and cook until melted and smooth, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in reserved browned butter mixture.
2 min - 3
Add rice cereal to a large bowl and pour the chocolate mixture over top. Toss gently until the cereal is coated. Chill in the refrigerator, uncovered, for 5 minutes to cool slightly.
5 min - 4
Add 1 cup powdered sugar to a large zipper-lock bag; layer with 1/2 of the cooled cereal and another 1 cup of the powdered sugar. Layer remaining 1/2 cooled cereal and remaining 1 cup powdered sugar; seal bag and shake to coat. Alternatively, mix all ingredients together in a large bowl until evenly coated. Transfer cereal to a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the cereal evenly and chill in the fridge, uncovered, for 20 minutes, until the chocolate is set, or at room temperature for about 1 hour. Serve at room temperature.
