Description

This colorful Puppy Chow recipe is perfect for any festive occasion, combining crunchy Rice Chex with sweet candy melts.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups Rice Chex Cereal (Provides a delightful crunch while keeping the treat gluten-free.)
  • 1 cup Yellow Candy Melts (Adds a creamy sweetness and acts as the lightest color for your festive treat.)
  • 1 cup Green Candy Melts (Brings a flavorful and festive touch to your Puppy Chow.)
  • 1 cup Purple Candy Melts (Lavender by Wilton) (Offers a pop of color and sweetness perfect for the festival.)
  • 1/3 cup Powdered Sugar (Essential for that sweet coating that enhances the overall texture.)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Bowls: Start by placing each color of candy melts into separate large bowls.
  2. Melt and Coat Cereal: Melt the yellow candy melts in the microwave per package instructions. Mix 1 cup of Rice Chex into the melted candy.
  3. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Transfer the coated cereal into a resealable plastic bag with 1/3 cup of powdered sugar. Seal and shake gently.
  4. Strain: Pour the contents of the bag into a sieve over a bowl to remove excess powdered sugar. Spread the coated mixture on parchment paper.
  5. Repeat Coating Process: Follow the same steps for the green and purple candy melts.
  6. Mix or Serve Separately: Decide if you want to mix all the colors together or serve them separately.

Notes

  • This Puppy Chow recipe is customizeable with different colors of candy melts for various occasions.
