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
- Prepare the Cereal: Pour the Chex cereal into a medium bowl, making sure it’s ready for coating.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 25-second increments at 50% power. Stir well between each increment to ensure even melting. When most of the chocolate is melted, stir continuously to finish melting without overheating.
- Add Cinnamon to Chocolate: Stir 1 ½ teaspoons of cinnamon into the melted white chocolate until fully incorporated.
- Coat the Cereal: Pour the cinnamon white chocolate mixture over the cereal and stir gently but thoroughly, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
- Add Powdered Sugar Mixture: In a gallon-sized plastic bag, combine powdered sugar and remaining 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon. Transfer the coated cereal into this bag and toss gently until every piece is covered in the cinnamon powdered sugar mixture.
- Cool and Serve: Transfer the coated cereal back to a bowl and let it cool for about 15 minutes before serving, allowing the coating to set properly.
Notes
- Be careful not to overheat the white chocolate; overheating causes the chocolate to seize and become thick and unworkable.
- To avoid overheating, melt chocolate at 50% microwave power or use a double boiler method.
- Store Snickerdoodle Puppy Chow in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks.
- Make sure to thoroughly stir the cereal while coating so the powdered sugar sticks evenly.
