Nutella Yuppy (or Puppy) Chow

Yuppy Chow.  Puppy Chow.  White Trash.  Whatever you call it, the bottom line is this stuff is good!  But this Nutella Yuppy Chow is not just good.  It's addictively good.

My family was introduced to this delectable sweet treat years ago by my brother's mother-in-law.  And ever since, my Father has been in love with Yuppy Chow.  To him, it's just not Christmas without it.  Of course, the rest of us like it pretty good too.  

Crunchy cereal, pretzels, chocolate, ... all coated in powdered sugar ... what's not to love?

My Mom and I especially love the big hunks created when a bunch of pieces of the cereal-pretzel mixture all clump together.  That means there's extra chocolate coating holding the big clump together!

Well, given my family's love of Yuppy Chow and my love of Nutella, can you imagine how excited I was when I came across Healthy Tasty Chow's Nutella version?  I just had to give it a try!  Had to.  No choice about it.

So I whipped up a batch ...  And then, of course, put it to a head-to-head taste test against the traditional version. 

The results, you ask?  

This one was a super tough call! ... and I actually have to call it a tie.  I love them both.  I might ... might ... love the Nutella version just a teeny-tiny bit better.  It's so slight it's impossible to decide.  

So how do you whip up a batch of Nutella Yuppy Chow so you can decide for yourself?

Start by melting together your chocolate coating ingredients ... chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, butter, and Nutella.

Then pour the melted mixture over your crunchy mixture.  Ummmmm, does anyone else just want to stick their finger right into that beautiful waterfall of Nutella-chocolate?

Next, gently stir the mixture together to coat the crunchies with the chocolate.  Sometimes I use a spoon ... sometimes I just dive right in with my hands.

Once your crunchies are coated, dump them into a clean brown paper grocery bag and pour the powdered sugar on top.

Close up the bag real good, and then shake, shake, shake ... shake, shake, shake ... shake your baggie ... shake your baggie!

(Gotta love a little play on the classic KC and the Sunshine Band!  I haven't included a song in one of my posts for a while.  I was due.  Sooooo ... just in case you don't know that song, here it is!  Classic "Shake Your Booty."

That was fun.  Now back to Yuppy Chow.)

Your Yuppy Chow should now look like this ... 

... all nicely coated and white.

You're ready to serve up a bowl and enjoy.  But be warned! ... once you start eating this stuff, it's really hard to stop.
