I had some, uuummm, computation issues when I made this last year and wound up putting in a whole bag of chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of butter and 1 cup of peanut butter. People at work said it was the best puppy chow they had ever eaten. :)

How long should one heat it? I still have a somewhat thick mixture when I microwave it for 30 secs.

Proportions are way off, you'll need at least double the chocolate chips, peanut butter, butter and vanilla for 9 cups.

I actually put this in a tin can along with chocolate-covered rice krispie treats and chocolate-covered pretzels too last year for the holidays. My friends and family loved it. Especially the puppy chow :) Isn't it great being a puppy for a day!!

Shayli said:
I have been making this for years and a yummy twist is to add a 1/4 tsp. mint extract instead of the vanilla. My recipe never did have the vanilla and you really don't miss it. Try the mint sometime (add or reduce to your taste preference).

How long does this stay fresh after making? I want to make it as gifts for the holiday....
Cooks.com said:
Hi Andre,

I would only keep it for a few days, otherwise, if you want to store it for a longer time, freeze it!

Yes you can make it without peanut butter. I make it every year instead of peanut butter I use white chocolate over the mixture. I also add pretzels, cheerios and M&M's to the mixture, this is da bomb!

Another question about how long it lasts...I'm shipping to some friends and family, if I freeze it ahead of time and it thaws, can it be put back in the freezer again after they get it?

I actually don't even use butter. Just melt milk chocolate chips and add about 1-2 tbsp. of peanut butter. melt and then add rice chex, then shake up in a bag of powdered sugar!
