Scale
Main Ingredients
- 6 cups rice cereal
- 12 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt the White Chocolate: Gently melt the white chocolate chips until smooth, using a microwave in short bursts or a double boiler, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Coat the Cereal: Pour the melted white chocolate over the rice cereal and stir thoroughly to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the creamy white chocolate.
- Add Crushed Oreos: Fold the crushed Oreo cookies gently into the coated cereal mixture, distributing them evenly without breaking down the cereal too much.
- Shake with Powdered Sugar: Transfer the mixture into a large resealable plastic bag, add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then shake vigorously to coat the snack thoroughly with the sugary dusting.
- Cool and Set: Spread the coated puppy chow on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set before serving.
Notes
- For best results, crush Oreos in a sealed bag using a rolling pin to avoid mess.
- White chocolate chips can easily burn; melt slowly and stir constantly.
- Store puppy chow in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Variations: swap Oreos for other sandwich cookies or add nuts for extra crunch.
- This is a no-bake recipe, making it quick and easy for any occasion.
