How to make the best puppy chow truffles:
- Step 1: Add Chex cereal and peanut butter to the bowl of your food processor, mix to break up the cereal, then add in powdered sugar and mix again to form a dough consistency. Let chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Step 2: Roll the mixture into even sized balls, then cover each one in melted chocolate. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing them on parchment lined baking sheets.
- Step 3: Transfer the chocolate covered truffles to the fridge for another 30 minutes to let the chocolate harden.
- Step 4: Make sure the chocolate is fully set before coating each one in powdered sugar. Shake off any excess sugar before enjoying!
My top tips!
- Let the Chex and peanut butter mixture chill in the fridge before rolling into balls. This prevents the mixture from sticking all over your hands!
- If you’re chocolate is looking a little thick, add 1 tbsp of melted coconut oil to thin it out. This makes it easier to coat the truffles evenly.
- Make sure the chocolate coating is completely hardened before rolling the truffles in powdered sugar. The powdered sugar sticks much better to the cold chocolate and is much less messy!
