Vegan Puppy Chow (for Humans Only)

Share

The following article was written by Ashley Palmer.

"Puppy Chow" is a holiday staple for me. It's easy to make, tastes fantastic, and makes a great DIY gift. Whip up a batch, and put it into tiny baggies or present it in mason jars decked with pretty holiday ribbons and tags.

This recipe is also great to make for a cookie swap, because you can make a lot with relatively little work. And, trust me, it's a crowd pleaser—so no one will even notice that you took the easy route.

What is your favorite holiday treat? Be sure to share with us in the comments box below.

Vegan Puppy Chow
1 cup semi-sweet vegan chocolate chips
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup vegan margarine
9 cups rice cereal squares
1 tsp. vanilla (optional)
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and vegan margarine in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for about 1 minute, or until melted. Add vanilla.
Place the cereal squares in a large container and pour in the chocolate mixture. Stir gently until all the squares are coated.
Add the powdered sugar to the container and seal with a lid. Shake gently until the sugar has coated all the squares.
Place in the freezer for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens. Once solidified, store in the refrigerator.

Makes 9 cups

The name puppy chow has been in use for a very long time, peta didn't come up with this name. Only those with a low iq would think this is for a dog. Also on a side note most brand name rice square cereals arn't veggie friendly and contain animal bi products or ingredients. Check the organic area to find a beg friendly cereal.

The recipe seems nice but I agree that the name was a poor choice. i had to check twice to make sure that this food is not intended for puppies and based on the ingredients I knew that it is for human consumption.

the name is cute and if some "idiots" feed this to there dog then that doggy is spoiled and is being feed table food, because no one could mistake this for dog food... thats just silly. i love this ideaaaaa i will be doing this! :)

I think the name was a poor choice - if anyone actually thinks this is for puppies and gives them this treat it could be lethal!
