Puppy Chow Treats

31 Days of Fun Fall Ideas- Idea #9

Puppy Chow is an awesome edible treat that encourages good behavior and animalistic personalities.  My kids love it!  I made a few batches of chili to collect cans for the puppy chow and then printed off new logos to go on outside of the can.  It is best to use a can opener that does not leave sharp edges to keep fingers safe.  Once these treat cans were filled, I hot glued the lid tops back on.

Puppy Chow


9 cups Corn or Rice Chex
1/2 cup Nutella spread (easier for avoiding allergies)
1 cup chocolate chips (I prefer milk chocolate)
1/4 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups Powdered sugar

-Place cereal in a large mixing bowl.
-Melt chips, Nutella and butter in a microwave safe bowl 1 minute.  Remove and stir, return to microwave for 30 second increments until mixture is smooth. Stir in vanilla and pour over cereal stirring until evenly coated.  Place mixture in a ziplock back with powdered sugar and shake until coated.  Place on cookie sheet or return to bowl until cooled.
