DIRTY PUPPY CHOW

 

 

Elvira got a bad case of munchies so she threw together a quick, snack to satisfy her momentary chocolate cravings.  As you can tell, she has a twisted sense of humour with the lost dog and all.  However, I reminded her that not having children of her own (and only finding them beneficial for spells and stews) was no excuse to forget our mission of fun, kid food.  She refused to submit the 'brat' version unless there was an 'adult' version included.  WARNING:  This stuff is addictive albeit unattractive.  Don't blame me if you get a bellyache from not showing some sign of maturity while gorging the whole bowl.   And please limit your children's snacking unless, of course, hyper is your idea of a fun day.  One very important note--DO NOT ALLOW YOUR DOGS TO EAT THIS--CHOCOLATE IS POISON FOR CANINES...and it leaves all of it for the piggy, inhabitants of your household.

WHO FORGOT TO FEED THE DOG PUPPY CHOW

Kid Version

8 c rice cereal

1/2 c peanut butter

1 c semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 c powdered sugar

1 TBSP butter

Fill medium saucepan 1/3 with water--bring to rapid boil--remove from heat.  Pour chips and butter into smaller saucepan with tight fitting lid and place onto larger saucepan.  Let sit for five minutes.  Stir and add peanut butter.  When smooth, add cereal and stir to coat.  If you feel the need for yet more chocolate and peanut butter, repeat previous melting method and gunk up your cereal real good.  Put powdered sugar in a gallon size ziploc, add gunky, chocolate/peanut butter coated cereal and shake (after closing).  Pour into dog bowls, cereal bowls or just shove into your mouth with your fingers.  Be sure to add plenty of plastic centipedes, flies, spiders and other assorted kid-screaming insects. 

Adult Version

Same as above except add the following in place of the butter:  KAHLUA OR BOURBON (think holiday bourbon balls).  Easy on the bourbon--in the recipe and at happy hour.  It won't be necessary to have a designated driver while eating these but couldn't hurt to have one if you take these to a party.  You can also add pecans, sugar-coated or plain, for protein.  It's healthy.  It cancels the bad stuff. 

No insect adornments necessary. 

Bark appétit!
