Butterscotch Puppy Chow

Here I am, fulfilling my promise from yesterday, with a new twist on the classic peanut butter and chocolate puppy chow!

I scoured the internet (and pinterest, of course) for a puppy chow version that included butterscotch! I found nothing on Pinterest (gasp!) and a few variations in a google search but nothing that really jumped out at me and made butterscotch the main flavor! So, I took matters into my own hands and experimented a few times and am happy with the end result!


Pour 5 cups Chex Mix or Crispix cereal into a large bowl.
(Full recipe is listed at bottom of post)


Measure 2 cups of powdered sugar into a gallon size ziploc bag.


Combine 1 cup butterscotch chips, 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 2 tbsp. butter and 1/4 c. peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl.
(Oh hey there, iSi flex bowls)


Microwave for one minute and stir until combined. Do not over cook or over stir as the butterscotch chips will harden!

Add in 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract and combine. 


Pour the yummy goodness over the cereal and gently stir to coat.


Pour the covered cereal into the bag of powdered sugar, zip tight and shake to coat.
Sorry about the lack of picture!



Yum! It's the perfect amount of butterscotch and chocolate deliciousness!
