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 it aside for coating.
  2. Melt the Chocolate Mixture: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and white chocolate together, stirring constantly. Once melted, stir in the almond and vanilla extracts until fully combined, then remove from heat.
  3. Coat the Cereal: Immediately pour the melted mixture over the cereal and gently stir to coat every piece evenly with the white chocolate mixture.
  4. Add Sprinkles: Transfer the coated cereal into a large zip-top bag or container with a tight-fitting lid, add the sprinkles, and shake thoroughly until the sprinkles are evenly dispersed throughout.
  5. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Add the powdered sugar to the bag or container, then shake again until all the cereal pieces are well-coated. Spread the coated cereal onto a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper to cool.
  6. Cool and Store: Allow the puppy chow to cool completely. Discard any excess powdered sugar and then store the treat in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • Be sure to stir constantly while melting chocolate to avoid burning.
  • Shake the cereal gently to avoid breaking the pieces.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep the puppy chow fresh and crunchy.
  • This recipe can be customized with different sprinkles or nut extracts for variety.
