Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups Chex cereal (corn or rice)
  • 1 cup caramel bits
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup apple chips, broken into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Measure 6 cups of Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of caramel bits and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  3. Pour the melted caramel mixture over the Chex cereal. Gently toss with a rubber spatula until the cereal is evenly coated.
  4. In another microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  5. Pour the melted white chocolate over the caramel-coated cereal. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and a pinch of sea salt. Toss gently to combine.
  6. Transfer the coated cereal to a zip-top bag. Add 1 ½ cups of powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake until the cereal is fully covered.
  7. Break 1 cup of apple chips into bite-sized pieces and mix them into the puppy chow.
  8. Spread the puppy chow onto a baking sheet to cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

[‘Work quickly as melted caramel and chocolate can harden fast.’, ‘Heat caramel and chocolate in short intervals to prevent burning.’, ‘Use fresh apple chips for the best flavor.’, ‘Shake the powdered sugar evenly for a perfect coating.’, ‘Let the puppy chow cool completely before storing to avoid sogginess.’]
