PUPPY CHOW

Here's a great recipe to surprise your friends (and, better, enemies!). A lady brought it to a Meals on Wheels work session when we were getting out the newsletter, and everybody loved it. She served it from a Purina Puppy Chow bag for additional realism. Here it is:


Puppy Chow

3/4 cup peanut butter
1 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup butter
8 cups Crispix cereal
2 cups powdered sugar

Melt the peanut butter, chocolate chips, and butter together. Pour over the cereal in a large kettle or bowl and stir well. Pour the powdered sugar into a large brown paper bag and add the cereal. Fold the bag to seal and shake well to coat evenly.

If you can't find Crispix, you can use Rice Chex, but the shape of Crispix pieces makes it look more realistic. If you want to have some fun, don't tell your guests what it is. Just dip into the bag and munch on some yourself, then offer them some. See who the wimps are.
