Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cereal: Pour the Rice Chex cereal into a large bowl and set aside to have it ready for coating.
  2. Melt the chocolate mixture: In a medium saucepan over low heat, gently melt the butter, white chocolate, almond extract, and vanilla extract together, stirring constantly until the mixture is completely smooth and melted. Remove from heat promptly to avoid burning.
  3. Coat the cereal: Immediately pour the melted mixture over the cereal in the bowl. Stir gently but thoroughly to ensure every piece of cereal is coated evenly in the white chocolate mixture.
  4. Add sprinkles: Transfer the coated cereal into a large zip-top bag or a container with a tight-fitting lid. Add the sprinkles, then shake the bag or container until the sprinkles are well dispersed across the coated cereal.
  5. Coat with powdered sugar: Add the powdered sugar to the bag or container, then shake again until the puppy chow is evenly coated with the powdered sugar, creating a sweet, powdery finish on each piece.
  6. Cool and store: Spread the coated puppy chow evenly onto a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper and allow it to cool completely. Discard any excess powdered sugar that settles at the bottom. Once cooled, 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 the best flavor and smooth coating consistency.
  • Make sure to stir the melting chocolate mixture constantly on low heat to prevent scorching.
  • The sprinkles add a fun and colorful texture that complements the sweet, creamy coating.
  • Allow the puppy chow to cool completely before storing to avoid clumping.
  • This snack stays fresh for up to one week when stored properly in an airtight container at room temperature.
