Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cereal: Pour the Chex cereal (and Cinnamon Toast Crunch if using) into a medium bowl to get ready for coating.
  2. Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 25-second increments at 50% power, stirring thoroughly between each interval. When most of the chocolate has melted, continue stirring until fully smooth to avoid overheating and seizing.
  3. Add Cinnamon to Chocolate: Stir 1½ teaspoons of cinnamon into the melted white chocolate until evenly combined.
  4. Coat the Cereal: Pour the cinnamon white chocolate mixture over the cereal. Stir gently but thoroughly to ensure every piece of cereal is coated evenly.
  5. Mix with Powdered Sugar: In a gallon-sized plastic bag, combine the powdered sugar and remaining 1½ teaspoons cinnamon. Transfer the coated cereal into the bag, seal it, and toss gently until the cereal is coated completely with the cinnamon powdered sugar mixture.
  6. Cool and Serve: Transfer the coated cereal back to a bowl and allow it to cool for about 15 minutes so the coating sets. Serve and enjoy your Snickerdoodle Puppy Chow!

Notes

  • Avoid overheating the white chocolate as it will seize and become difficult to work with; stirring gently while melting helps prevent this.
  • You can also melt white chocolate using a double boiler for more control and to avoid overheating.
  • Store the puppy chow in an airtight container at room temperature; it will keep fresh for 1-2 weeks if not eaten immediately.
  • Thorough coating of the cereal ensures the powdered sugar and cinnamon stick well, giving the best snickerdoodle flavor in every bite.
