Chocolate Peanut Butter Puppy Chow

What a great snack to serve at your Christmas party this year! Puppy chow is so quick and easy to make, and soooo good.

Ingredients

• 1 cup of creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup of chocolate hazelnut spread
• 1 Tbsp of olive oil
• 1 tsp of vanilla extract
• 6 cups of rice Chex cereal
• 3 cups of powdered sugar
• 
  

Directions

In a heated medium-sized saucepan, add the peanut butter, chocolate hazelnut spread, olive oil, and vanilla extract. Sitr the ingredients together and cook on low heat just until the mixture is creamy and smooth. 

 Once the mixture is thoroughly combined, immediately remove the mixture from the heat to avoid overcooking.  Add the Chex cereal and stir to cover the cereal with the sauce as shown. Set aside.

Add the powdered sugar to a large plastic bag. Using a large spoon, add the chocolate coated cereal to the bag and shake the bag to cover the cereal entirely with the powedered sugar.

Once the cereal is completely coated, pour the puppy chow onto a lined cookie sheet to cool. (I used parchment paper, but wax paper will work just as well.)

Enjoy!

Makes 6 - 8 servings.

Nacho Cheese Sauce

Make your own nacho cheese sauce. It's delicious and very easy to make!

My two daughters challenged me to make my own nacho cheese sauce. This is the wonderful recipe that has resulted from that challenge. I hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

• 3 Tbsp olive oil (or the oil of your choice)
• 3 Tbsp all purpose flour
• 4 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups of almond milk (fat free, 2%, half and half, or whole milk will work as well)
• 1/2 tsp of salt
• 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper

Directions

In a heated medium saucepan, add the olive oil and flour. Mix together  and cook on medium heat until thickened. Add the almond milk and continue to cook until the sauce has thickened, approximately 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 4 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese, salt and cayenne pepper. Set aside for about 5 minutes and allow the cheese to melt. Return the sauce to the heat and cook on low for 5 minutes to make certain that all the cheese has melted.

Enjoy with your favorite chips or bread!
