Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup shelled pistachios, chopped

Instructions

  1. Melt Chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
  2. Add Pistachios: Stir the chopped pistachios into the melted white chocolate until they are evenly coated and well incorporated.
  3. Coat Cereal: Pour the Rice Chex cereal into the bowl with the white chocolate and pistachio mixture. Gently fold the cereal into the mixture, taking care to coat all pieces evenly without breaking the cereal.
  4. Prepare Coating Mix: In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the powdered sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder, shaking the bag to mix thoroughly.
  5. Shake to Coat: Add the chocolate-coated cereal to the bag with the powdered sugar and cocoa powder mixture. Seal the bag tightly and shake vigorously until the cereal is completely coated with the dry mix.
  6. Cool: Spread the coated puppy chow mixture evenly onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Allow it to cool completely at room temperature or for about 15-20 minutes to let the coating set before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Use a gentle folding motion when coating the cereal to avoid breaking the pieces.
  • For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
  • Store the puppy chow in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best freshness.
  • This recipe can be easily doubled for larger batches.
