Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups Chex cereal (rice or corn)
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prep your workspace by gathering all your tools: a microwave-safe bowl, a large mixing bowl, a spatula, and a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, using high power for 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
- Add the pumpkin spice and vanilla extract to the melted chocolate and stir until fully combined.
- Coat the Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl by pouring the melted white chocolate over it, gently folding until evenly coated.
- Add the powdered sugar to the coated cereal, sealing it in a large plastic bag and shaking gently until all pieces are coated, or sprinkle directly in the mixing bowl.
- Spread the Puppy Chow mixture onto your lined baking sheet in an even layer to cool.
- Let it sit for about 30 minutes until the coating firms up.
- Serve and enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
Consider packaging in small clear bags for gifting or serving in decorative bowls at gatherings. Top with a sprinkle of sea salt for added flavor.
