Red, White, and Blue Puppy Chow
This 4th of July puppy chow combines classic chocolate peanut butter muddy buddies with colorful white chocolate coated cereal for a crunchy patriotic party snack perfect for summer gatherings. Can also be made 100% gluten-free.
Ingredients
- 8 cups Rice Chex cereal divided
- ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup peanut butter creamy, not natural
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 ounces white melting chocolate see notes
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 6 ounces red and blue M&Ms
- ½ cup red and blue sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside. Divide the Chex cereal evenly between two large bowls. Place powdered sugar in a 1-gallon zip-top bag.
- Place the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until melted. (Alternatively, use a double boiler by placing a glass mixing bowl over a saucepan with 1 inch of water. Heat on medium and stir constantly until melted.)
- Pour the white chocolate over the cereal in one bowl and stir to fully coat. Spread the mixture on the parchment paper and top with sprinkles and M&Ms.
- Place the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until melted. Again, you can use a double boiler if desired.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal in the second bowl and stir to fully coat. Place the mixture into the powdered sugar bag. Shake to fully coat the cereal with powdered sugar. Spread the mixture on the parchment paper.
- Allow the mixture to rest for 20 minutes. Gently toss to break up large chunks and serve.
Equipment
- sheet pan
Notes
- White melting chocolate will melt more smoothly than white chocolate baking chips. If you have the chips, add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable oil to help smooth out when melting.
