Puppy Chow!

For a fundraiser, me and my friends whipped up eleven batches of this stuff. It works well, and tastes great. Note: this is NOT food for dogs; I was surprised by how many people didn't know what "puppy chow" is.

Equipment: One mixing bowl, one large bowl with plate for shaking, one microwaveable containers, measuring cups (1 C, 1/2 C, and one more for measuring servings), two rubber spatulas (or large spoons), bags for portions.

Ingredients
1 box (13oz) rice chex
1/4c vegan butter
1/2c peanut butter
1c chocolate chips
1tsp vanilla
3c powdered sugar

Directions
Microwave the butters and chocolate in the microwave until the chocolate is mostly melted. Add the vanilla and mix. Pour one box of cereal into a bowl, then pour the melted chocolate mixture over it and gently fold until it's well mixed. Dump the cereal into the large bowl, add the powdered sugar, use the plate as a lid and shake well.


Large-scale directions
12 boxes rice chex
5 2# bags of powdered sugar
1 6# jar of peanut butter
2 1# boxes of Earth Balance vegan buttery sticks
2 3# bags of chocolate chips
Ziploc sandwich bags - 120 count

Follow the same directions as above, but in an assembly line - one person measures and microwaves, one mixes in the cereal, one person shakes the powdered sugar, one person measures 1c servings into sandwich bags. We ended up making 120 servings from 11 boxes, and sold each for $1. The original ingredients cost about $70, so we made an extra $50.
