 I haven’t tried these yet but I want to save the recipe to make later, they seem like they’d be a great camping weekend treat!!!

This recipe is from Amanda Rettke at iambaker.net

Puppy Chow Bars

Ingredients

• 7 cups Rice Chex cereal, (start with 5 cups and check consistency)
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup (258 g) creamy peanut butter
• ¼  cup  (28 g) unsalted butter, can use salted
• 1 bag (10 ounces) mini marshmallows
• ¼ cup (31 g) confectioners sugar

Instructions

• In a large mixing bowl, add the Chex cereal and set aside.
• In a separate medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted.
• Add in the mini marshmallows, stir to coat and return to the microwave, cooking again in 30-second intervals until the marshmallows start to puff and melt. The mixture should be thick and creamy.
• Pour the marshmallow mixture over the Chex cereal and stir to coat. (Make sure to stir as much as you need in order to generously coat all of the cereal.)
  
• Transfer the cereal mixture to a 9x13 inch greased baking pan and press it firmly into the pan. Set in the refrigerator to chill for 10-15 minutes.
• Lightly coat the top of the bars with powdered sugar. Cut and serve!
