Football Puppy Chow
Ingredients:
GREEN PUPPY CHOW
- 4 cups chex cereal
- 1 cup green candy melts
- 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
BROWN PUPPY CHOW
- 4 cups chex cereal
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
ADD INS
- Football almonds - whole almonds and small batch of royal icing:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp meringue powder
- 1/2 tbsp water
- White m&ms
Directions:
TO MAKE THE ROYAL ICING
- Combine the powdered sugar, meringue powder, and water in a mixing bowl and mix until the icing has a matte appearance, about 2 minutes. You may need to add a little more water to get the right consistency. You don’t want the icing to be runny, but have a thicker consistency, but you don’t want it to be too thick where you can’t get it out of the squeeze bottle. Transfer to a squeeze bottle or ziploc bag with one corner cut off.
- On each almond draw the center football stripe.
- Allow the royal icing to harden, 10-15 minutes before adding the football stitches.
- Draw 3 stitches on each almond.
- Allow the royal icing to harden completely before adding the footballs to the puppy chow.
GREEN PUPPY CHOW
- Measure out 4 cups of chex cereal into a gallon plastic bag.
- Combine the green candy melts, vegetable oil, and peanut butter in a pot over low heat on the stove. Occasionally stir with a spatula until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
- Pour the melted chocolate into the plastic bag. Zip it shut and shake to evenly coat the cereal with chocolate.
- Add 3/4 cup powdered sugar to the bag, zip, and shake again. If the puppy chow is too sticky, add more powdered sugar 1/4 cup at a time.
- Set aside.
