Description
Pistachio Puppy Chow is a quick, easy, and delicious snack that combines the nutty flavor of pistachios with the sweet and salty goodness of melted chocolate and peanut butter. This no-bake treat is perfect for parties, movie nights, or anytime you need a satisfying pick-me-up.
Ingredients
– 6 cups crisp cereal (such as Chex or Corn Chex)
– 1 cup chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup peanut butter
– 1/4 cup butter
– 1 cup unsalted, shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
Instructions
1. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
2. Add the crisp cereal to the melted chocolate mixture and stir gently until the cereal is evenly coated.
3. Fold in the chopped pistachios, making sure they are distributed throughout the mixture.
4. Spread the Pistachio Puppy Chow onto a baking sheet or large plate and let it cool completely, about 30 minutes.
5. Once cooled, break up any large clumps and enjoy the Pistachio Puppy Chow as a snack or treat.
Notes
– For a firmer texture, you can refrigerate the Pistachio Puppy Chow for 15-20 minutes after cooling.
– Try using different types of nuts, like almonds or cashews, in place of the pistachios.
– Add a sprinkle of sea salt for an extra salty-sweet contrast.
