Main Ingredients
- 4 and ½ cups (135g) Rice Chex® cereal
- ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter, cut into 8 slices
- 8 ounces (227g) high quality white chocolate
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup (134g) sprinkles
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- Prepare the Cereal: Pour the Rice Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside to be coated later.
- Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter, white chocolate, almond extract, and vanilla extract together while stirring constantly until the mixture is completely smooth and melted. Remove from heat promptly to avoid burning.
- Coat the Cereal: Immediately pour the melted mixture over the cereal in the large bowl. Stir gently with a spatula or spoon to ensure every piece of cereal is evenly coated in the white chocolate mixture.
- Add Sprinkles: Transfer the coated cereal to a large zip-top plastic bag or container with a tight-fitting lid. Add the sprinkles, then shake vigorously to distribute the sprinkles evenly throughout the coated cereal.
- Coat with Powdered Sugar: Add the powdered sugar to the bag or container, seal it, and shake well again until all cereal pieces are thoroughly coated with the sugar, creating that signature puppy chow look and texture.
- Cool and Store: Spread the coated puppy chow on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper to cool and set. Once cooled, discard any excess powdered sugar. Store the snack in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate for a smooth and creamy coating.
- Ensure you melt the chocolate mixture gently over low heat to prevent burning.
- Allow the coated mixture to cool completely before storing to prevent clumping.
- You can customize this recipe by swapping sprinkles for chocolate chips or nuts as preferred.
- This treat is best enjoyed fresh but stores well for up to one week in an airtight container.
