Description

Chai Snickerdoodle Puppy Chow is a delightful, spiced snack mix combining crispy puffed cereal coated in a luscious white chocolate and SunButter blend, dusted with a warming chai spice and turbinado sugar mixture. This sweet, crunchy treat is perfect for snacking or sharing during cozy gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Chai Spice Mix

  • 2 tablespoons chai spice mix (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg)

Coating Mix

  • 1/2 cup turbinado sugar (or powdered sugar)

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups white chocolate (can substitute semi-sweet or dark chocolate)
  • 1 cup SunButter (add a splash of oil if too thick)
  • 6 cups crispy puffed cereal (rice cereal or any puffed cereal works)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chai Spice: Combine cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg in a small bowl and whisk until well blended to create the chai spice mix.
  2. Combine Coating: In a medium bowl, mix the turbinado sugar with the chai spice blend until the mixture is uniform and fragrant.
  3. Melt Mixture: Place the white chocolate and SunButter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
  4. Cereal Coating: Add the crispy puffed cereal to the melted white chocolate and SunButter mixture. Fold gently with a spatula to coat all the cereal pieces evenly without breaking them.
  5. Dust with Sugar: Sprinkle the chai sugar mixture over the coated cereal, then toss gently to cover thoroughly with the spiced sugar.
  6. Set: Spread the coated cereal evenly onto a lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the mixture to harden and set.
  7. Store: Break the set mixture into bite-sized pieces and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness and crunch.

Notes

  • Substitute semi-sweet or dark chocolate for white chocolate if preferred for a less sweet version.
  • If SunButter is too thick, add a teaspoon of neutral oil (like vegetable or canola) to achieve better coating consistency.
  • Turbinado sugar adds a slight crunch and molasses flavor; powdered sugar can be used for a smoother texture.
  • Store the puppy chow chilled to maintain crispness and prevent melting.
  • This snack is perfect for gift-giving or party treats and can be customized with other spices like cardamom or cloves.
