Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1/2 cup cookie butter
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup mini pretzels (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cereal: Pour the Rice Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside to prepare for coating.
- Melt the Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cookie butter, white chocolate chips, and butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Add Flavor: Stir in the vanilla extract to the melted mixture to enrich the flavor.
- Coat the Cereal: Pour the melted cookie butter and white chocolate mixture over the Rice Chex cereal. Gently fold the cereal until all pieces are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Add Powdered Sugar: Transfer the coated cereal into a large zip-top plastic bag. Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag tightly, and shake it well to ensure each piece is thoroughly coated.
- Cool the Mix: Spread the coated cereal onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow it to cool completely, so the coating sets nicely.
- Final Touch and Store: Once cooled, gently mix in the optional mini pretzels for added crunch and flavor. Store the Cookie Butter Puppy Chow in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Microwave heating times may vary; ensure the coating mixture is smooth without overheating.
- Mini pretzels can be omitted or substituted with nuts or other crunchy snacks as preferred.
- Store the puppy chow in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- For enhanced flavor, you can use flavored cookie butter such as speculoos or cinnamon.
- Be gentle when folding to avoid crushing the cereal pieces.
