Instructions:
- Prepare the Cereal:
- Place the Rice Chex cereal in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Melt the Chocolate and Butter:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Stir in the pistachio pudding mix into the melted chocolate mixture and combine until smooth and well-mixed.
- Coat the Cereal:
- Pour the pistachio-chocolate mixture over the Rice Chex cereal. Gently stir the cereal until it’s evenly coated with the mixture.
- Coat with Powdered Sugar:
- Transfer the coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag or a bowl. Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake vigorously until the cereal is completely coated in the sugar.
- If using a bowl, simply sprinkle the powdered sugar over the mixture and toss until evenly coated.
- Add Chopped Pistachios (Optional):
- For an extra pistachio crunch, add the chopped pistachios to the coated cereal and gently stir.
- Chill and Serve:
- Spread the pistachio puppy chow out on a baking sheet or large plate and let it cool for 30 minutes to an hour, allowing the coating to set.
- Once cooled, store the puppy chow in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Tips:
- Pistachio Flavor: If you want an even stronger pistachio flavor, you can use pistachio-flavored white chocolate or add a few drops of pistachio extract to the mixture.
- Storage: This snack stores well in an airtight container for up to a week, making it a perfect treat for batch cooking or gift giving.
- Customization: For a fun twist, you can also add mini chocolate chips or M&Ms to the puppy chow mixture for added sweetness and texture.
This Pistachio Puppy Chow is a delicious, easy-to-make treat that combines sweet, salty, and nutty flavors. It’s perfect for snacking, parties, or giving as a homemade gift. Enjoy! 🌰🍫
