You know, "puppy chow" is what you get when you mix melted chocolate and peanut butter (or butterscotch chips), and then pour it over Chex cereal. Then you can coat those bastards in powdered sugar and refrigerate, and you get a crunchy chocolate treat. That somehow looks like dog kibble, I guess.
So I ran out of Chex cereal the other day, having gone overboard with my own batch of "puppy chow". But I did have some bran flakes...so, yes, I went there. Chocolate-covered bran flakes with almonds and a little tangerine curd instead of peanut butter. Why not!
Then I put it on top of ice cream. You know, it's not bad. Original "Puppy chow" is more compelling with its unstoppable crunch and salty-sweet balance, but the chocolate-covered bran flakes on 1/2 fat double-churned Breyer's vanilla ice cream are pretty okay. I give it 7.5 stars out of 10. It would be 8 stars out of 10 if the bran flakes were crunchy instead of stale. But you can't have everything.
