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
- Prepare the Cereal: Pour the Chex cereal (and Cinnamon Toast Crunch if using) into a medium bowl to get ready for coating.
- 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.
- Add Cinnamon to Chocolate: Stir 1½ teaspoons of cinnamon into the melted white chocolate until evenly combined.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
