Lower Calorie Lower Sugar Human Puppy Chow

Recipe #328611 | 25 min | 15 min prep | add private note

I get cravings for this sometimes or for something sweet and chocolately like this, but I wanted to try something slightly better for me. You could try cutting out the oil/margarine altogether and maybe even the peanut butter. And you could experiment with other low-calorie cereals. I would guess plain puffed rice might be nice. This is basically the same as the regular recipe, but with slightly less chocolate, oil/margarine, and a powdered sugar alternative.

SERVES 9 , 9 Cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In a large sauce pan, melt chocolate chips with the peanut butter and add the olive oil/margarine.
  2. 2
    Stir until all is evenly distributed and all is completely melted.
  3. 3
    Measure out chex into a large bowl.
  4. 4
    Pour chocolate mixture over chex and fold until all the chex are completely covered in the chocolate mixture.
  5. 5
    Mix the nonfat dry milk, cornstarch, and Splenda in a blender until it looks like powdered sugar. This is the "powdered sugar" in the following steps.
  6. 6
    Put the "powdered sugar" into large paper bag.
  7. 7
    Put chex into the bag with the "sugar" and shake until all chex are covered.
  8. 8
    Add more "sugar" as needed.
