Ingredients

Scale

Cereal

  • 4 and ½ cups (135g) Rice Chex® cereal

Chocolate Mixture

  • ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter, cut into 8 slices
  • 8 ounces (227g) high quality white chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Coating & Toppings

  • ⅔ cup (134g) sprinkles
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter and White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and white chocolate. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
  2. Add Extracts: Stir in almond extract and vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture until evenly incorporated for a flavorful aroma and taste.
  3. Combine with Cereal: Place the Rice Chex cereal in a large bowl. Pour the melted white chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently stir to coat all pieces evenly without breaking the cereal.
  4. Add Sprinkles: Sprinkle the ⅔ cup of sprinkles over the coated cereal mixture and gently fold them in to distribute the colors evenly.
  5. Coat with Powdered Sugar: Transfer the mixture to a large resealable plastic bag or use a large bowl. Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake vigorously until every piece of cereal is coated with the powdered sugar for that classic puppy chow texture.
  6. Cool and Serve: Spread the coated puppy chow on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow it to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until firm. Once set, break apart any clusters and serve.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and smooth finish.
  • Be gentle when stirring the coated cereal to avoid crushing the pieces.
  • Store the puppy chow in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • For a festive twist, customize the sprinkles to match the occasion or season.
