Ingredients
Scale
Spice Mix
- 3 tbsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp ginger
- 1 tbsp cardamom
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp cloves
- 1 tsp allspice
Main Ingredients
- 6 cups (180g) rice chex cereal
- 1 cup (180g) dairy-free white chocolate chips
- 2/3 cup (170g) No Sugar Added SunButter
- 2 tbsp (25g) coconut oil (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Coating Sugar
- 1 cup (200g) turbinado sugar OR 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Mix Spices: In a small bowl, combine cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. Set aside this aromatic spice mixture for later.
- Melt Chocolate Mixture: In a medium bowl, microwave the dairy-free white chocolate chips with the No Sugar Added SunButter, vanilla extract, and coconut oil for 1 minute on high. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
- Coat Cereal: Pour the rice chex cereal into a large bowl. Add the melted white chocolate and SunButter mixture, stirring gently but thoroughly until every piece of cereal is evenly coated.
- Add Sugar and Spice: Stir the prepared spice mix into the sugar you selected (turbinado or powdered). Add this cinnamon-spiced sugar mixture to the coated cereal and mix well to ensure all pieces are covered evenly.
- Spread Out: Spread the coated cereal onto a large baking sheet lined with wax paper. Spread it out as much as possible to prevent big clumps and help the coating set evenly.
- Chill: Refrigerate the spread-out mix for 4 hours to allow the coating to firm up and the flavors to meld perfectly.
- Serve and Store: After chilling, break apart the puppy chow clusters. Enjoy immediately or store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for freshness.
Notes
- Using dairy-free white chocolate chips and SunButter makes this recipe vegan and dairy-free.
- The coconut oil is optional but helps create a smoother coating.
- For less clumping, ensure the cereal is spread out well on the baking sheet before chilling.
- Store puppy chow in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness and crunch.
- You can substitute turbinado sugar with powdered sugar depending on preference for texture and sweetness.
