Description

Ingredients

• 4 cups chex cereal
• 1 cup green candy melts (like Wilton brand)
• 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 4 cups chex cereal
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• Football almonds - whole almonds and small batch of royal icing: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1/2 tsp meringue powder 1/2 tbsp water
• 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. Brown Puppy Chow Measure out 4 cups of chex cereal into a gallon plastic bag. Combine the chocolate chips, 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. In a large bowl or serving tray, combine the green and brown puppy chow. Add in the white m&ms and the almond footballs. Serve and enjoy!
