Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 6 cups Chex cereal (or 4 cups Chex and 2 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 teaspoons cinnamon, divided
Wet Ingredients
- 12 oz. white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the cereal: Pour 6 cups of Chex cereal (or a mix of 4 cups Chex and 2 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch) into a medium bowl, ensuring it’s ready for coating.
- Melt the white chocolate: Place 12 oz. of white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the chocolate in 25-second increments at 50% power, stirring thoroughly between each interval. Continue stirring as the residual heat melts the remaining chips to avoid overheating and seizing the chocolate. Once smooth, stir in 1 ½ teaspoons of cinnamon to infuse the chocolate with warm cinnamon flavor.
- Coat the cereal: Pour the melted cinnamon white chocolate over the cereal. Gently stir to ensure every piece is evenly coated, allowing the flavors to meld perfectly.
- Add powdered sugar mixture: In a gallon-sized plastic bag, combine 1 cup powdered sugar with the remaining 1 ½ teaspoons of cinnamon. Transfer the coated cereal mixture into this bag and shake or toss vigorously until the cereal pieces are evenly coated with the cinnamon powdered sugar mixture.
- Cool and serve: Transfer the coated cereal back to a bowl. Let it cool and set for about 15 minutes at room temperature before digging in and serving for the best texture and taste experience.
Notes
- Avoid overheating the white chocolate to prevent it from becoming thick and unworkable. Use a double boiler or microwave it at 50% power, stirring often for smooth melting.
- Store the Snickerdoodle Puppy Chow in an airtight container at room temperature, where it will stay fresh for 1-2 weeks if not devoured sooner!
- Make sure to thoroughly stir and coat the cereal to ensure the powdered sugar mixture sticks well, giving every bite that signature cinnamon sweetness.
