❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Puppy Chow Chex Mix
1. Can I use a different type of cereal for puppy chow?
Yes you can use Corn Chex or Wheat Chex for a different texture. Some people also use Crispix or even a mix of cereals. Just make sure the pieces are sturdy enough to hold the coating.
2. Why is my puppy chow clumpy?
Clumpy puppy chow usually means the chocolate mixture was too hot when you added the powdered sugar or you did not shake the bag enough. Let the coated cereal cool for a minute before adding the powdered sugar and shake vigorously in a large bag with plenty of room.
3. Can I make puppy chow without peanut butter?
You can substitute the peanut butter with another nut butter like almond or cashew butter or use a seed butter like sunflower seed butter for a nut free version. The flavor will change slightly but it will still work.
4. How long does puppy chow stay fresh?
Puppy chow stays fresh for up to one week when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. Keep it away from heat and moisture to prevent the powdered sugar from getting sticky.
5. Can I freeze puppy chow?
Yes you can freeze puppy chow in a freezer safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Thaw it at room temperature and give it a gentle shake before serving to redistribute the powdered sugar.
