Ingredients
  

For the Coating
  • 1 cup White Melting Chocolate Vanilla almond bark can be used as a substitute
  • 2 tablespoons Salted Butter Unsalted butter can be used for a less salty flavor
For the Base
  • 4 cups Rice Chex Cereal Can be substituted with gluten-free Chex
For the Flavor
  • 1 cup Funfetti Cake Mix Consider heat-treating it to eliminate raw mix concerns
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Can be reduced for a less sweet treat
  • 1/4 cup Rainbow Sprinkles Any colored sprinkles can be used

Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan
  • large mixing bowl
  • Plastic resealable bag
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt the chocolate and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth, about 4-5 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add Rice Chex cereal and pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture over it, tossing gently to coat.
  3. In a resealable bag, combine Funfetti cake mix and powdered sugar, adding rainbow sprinkles if desired. Seal and shake to mix.
  4. Add half of the coated cereal to the bag, seal tightly, and shake to ensure thorough coating.
  5. Transfer the coated mixture to a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow it to settle for 10-15 minutes.
  6. Let the Puppy Chow set at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for quicker firming, about 10 minutes.
  7. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for freshness up to a week.
