I don't cook often. At least, not often enough.As I get ready to go off to that lovely place called college and experience my pseudo-college experience in a two story condo instead of a dorm, I realize that I should (and must) eventually learn to cook. This should be easy, as I come from a family of good-ole southern cuisine. My grandfather makes the most amazing cheese biscuits, and my mom is amazing at pretty much everything she cooks. So what happened with me? I blame it on the society that I live in. The fast food, give it to me now (hot and somewhat fresh, please!) generation. Alas, I have come to find that I can, when I set my mind to it, cook. And like it. As for the cleaning up afterwards, I'm still getting used to that.
But there is one thing that I like to make. It takes about ten minutes, not a lot of moolah, and is literally simple to make. (Even a caveman could do it!) And that is puppy chow. Ah yes, the chow of the puppy. (Also called Whiteman's Trash and something else that I can't recall..). This delectable treat involves very little prep time and literally takes nothing but a microwave. Or a very hot sun and a lot of patience, if that is what you prefer. So here is the simplicity of the chow.
You will need:
3/4 cup of peanut butter
1 cup of chocolate chips
1/4 cup of butter
8 cups (almost a whole box) of Crispix cereal
2 cups powdered sugar
How it goes down:
1. Melt the peanut butter, chocolate, and butter together. (Using microwave, or I suppose, the hot hot sun. I usually stick to the 'wave.)
2. Pour the Crispix cereal in a big, colorful bowl. Then pour the pb/choc/butter mixture on top of the cereal and mix it until all of the cereal pieces are covered in the gooey goodness.
3. Pour powdered sugar in a bag. (Paper or plastic, whichever you prefer.)
4. Pour the cereal (covered in gooey goodness) in the bag of powdered sugar, and shake shake shake!
5. Eat until you get sick.
See how simple it is? And no, this is not for little doggies. Chocolate makes them sick.
