Video Assignment

The stress of college always leads me to stress eat. I have a bad habit of craving sweet snacks when I’m cramming for exams and finals. I know I’m not the only one which is why I decided to make a how to video for my social media class on how to make puppy chow. It’s the perfect snack to share when you’re up late studying with your friends.

Luckily, puppy chow is super simple and quick! Here are the ingredients to make puppy chow:

½ cup peanut butter

¼ cup butter

1 cup chocolate chips

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

9 cups Crispix cereal (any flavor)

3 cups powdered sugar

After you have all of your ingredients, the first step is to combine the peanut butter, butter and chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for one minute then stir to blend the three ingredients thoroughly. After the ingredients are blended, add your half teaspoon of vanilla extract and stir again. After you have all your liquids mixed, add them to the dry cereal and start stirring! This step can get a little messy, but I think it’s the most fun part! Lastly, put the powdered sugar in a zip-lock plastic bag and pour in your peanut butter-chocolate cereal mixture and start shaking. After the mixture looks completely covered in powdered sugar you’re ready to start snacking!

I’ve never created a video before so this was definitely a learning experience. I used iMovie to create my how to video. Fortunately, Apple’s iMovie is user friendly and easy to figure out once you get the hang of it. I had a little trouble trying to upload it to YouTube but thanks to Google, I figured it out pretty quickly.

Satisfy your sweet tooth craving by making your own puppy chow. Check out my video on YouTube to see how. Let me know what you think!
