Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 cups Chex cereal (or 4 cups Chex and 2 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch)
  • 12 oz. white chocolate chips
  • 3 tsp cinnamon, divided
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cereal: Pour the Chex cereal into a medium bowl, setting the foundation for the coating.
  2. Melt White Chocolate: Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 25-second increments at 50% power, stirring well between each interval. When most of the white chocolate has melted, stir continuously to fully melt the rest without overheating. Stir in 1 ½ teaspoons of cinnamon into the melted chocolate, infusing it with warm spice.
  3. Coat the Cereal: Pour the cinnamon white chocolate mixture over the cereal, stirring gently but thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
  4. Toss with Powdered Sugar: In a gallon-sized plastic bag, combine the powdered sugar and remaining 1 ½ teaspoons of cinnamon. Transfer the coated cereal into the bag and toss or shake gently until every piece is well dusted with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  5. Cool and Serve: Transfer the coated puppy chow back to a bowl. Let it cool for about 15 minutes to allow the coating to set before serving and enjoying this sweet treat.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overheat the white chocolate to avoid burning or seizing.
  • You can substitute half of the Chex cereal with Cinnamon Toast Crunch to add extra cinnamon flavor and texture.
  • Store the puppy chow in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week for freshness.
  • This treat is perfect for parties, snack time, or holiday gifting in jars.
