Peanut Butter Brownie Puppy Chow

 

Be warned - this is super addicting! 

Ingredients

·         6 C. rice Chex cereal (I found peanut butter Chex and used that)

·         1 C. milk chocolate chips or melts

·         1/2 C. peanut butter creamy

·         1 tsp. vanilla extract

·         1 to 2 C. brownie mix from the box (dry) 

·         Optional: Brownies, Reese's Pieces, or Peanut butter cups (chopped)

Instructions:

Place cereal in a large bowl and set aside.

In a microwave proof bowl, melt chocolate, peanut butter and vanilla extract and stir until smooth. Pour over cereal and fold until covered.

Dump into a large plastic bag and add brownie mix, seal and shake until coated. (If you don't have a large plastic bag, pour brownie mix over cereal and stir well. Or you can use a pot with a lid to shake it in.)

Toss in whatever chocolate or peanut butter candy pieces you want. I did peanut butter M&Ms, fudge brownie M&Ms and Reese’s pieces.  Shake again.

The original recipe called for 1 cup of boxed brownie mix. I found that didn’t coat the cereal mixture very well, so I added more. Then I made an 8x8 pan of brownies with the remaining mix. You could crumble those into the puppy chow too.

Super easy triple chocolate peanut butter fudge

Review by Lyndee

Ingredients:

1 container frosting

1 16 oz jar creamy peanut butter

Melt frosting in a microwave safe dish for 1 minute.  Stir in peanut butter.  Spread into a 9x13 pan lined with foil.  Refrigerate and enjoy.

The recipe said this was the simplest fudge ever and I can’t deny that.  It called for vanilla frosting to make peanut butter fudge.  I opted to make a chocolate peanut butter fudge because they are my favorite pair and I had a triple chocolate fudge frosting on hand.  This was super easy and it tastes rich and delicious.  My only compliant would be that it was still a little soft even after being in the fridge overnight.
