Nutella Puppy Chow

Last week I started a new exercise program, so it makes complete sense that my kids would be begging me to make them a goodie this weekend. We had a pretty busy weekend planned so it had to be something that I had the ingredients for, and something that is super simple to make. A ton of different ideas went through my head, but I knew I would eat them with the kids. My solution was to make something that I am slightly allergic to, so I wouldn't be able to eat a lot of it...LOL!

Nutella Puppy Chow 

Adapted from Chef In Training

1/2 cup butter

1 cup Nutella

1 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

13 cups Chex cereal (a 12oz box works fine)- I used Rice Chex

3 cups powdered sugar

1. In a large stock pot, over medium-low heat, melt butter and chocolate chips, stirring constantly. 

2. When it is all melted, turn the heat down to low and add Nutella, stir until mixed.

3. Pour cereal into the Nutella mixture and gently stir until coated.

4. Place 2 cups of powdered sugar in a large bowl that has a lid.

5. Add the Nutella/cereal mixture to the powdered sugar. Place the lid on the bowl and shake. If necessary add more powdered sugar (up to 1 cup) to the bowl, replace lid and shake until all cereal in evenly coated.
6. Pour out onto a cookie sheet and allow to cool
