Thanksgiving Puppy Chow is your favorite sweet treat turned it into a fun Thanksgiving inspired snack with festive candy pumpkins, Reese's pieces, and more!
Place parchment paper in a large baking pan and set it aside (you'll need it to spread the puppy chow on to cool).
Put Chex cereal in a big mixing bowl.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Heat in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring each time, until it's smooth and melted. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix.
Pour the melted chocolate mix over the Chex cereal and gently stir it with a spatula until it's well coated.
In a Ziploc bag, put powdered sugar along with the chocolate-covered Chex cereal. Seal the bag and shake it until the cereal is evenly coated with the sugar.
Spread the coated cereal on the prepared baking sheet and let it cool.
Before serving, mix in the mini peanut butter cups, Reese's pieces, and mellowcreme pumpkins with the puppy chow. Enjoy!
