This treat combines Rice Chex cereal with green icing, white chocolate, and a hint of sugar cookie mix for a sweet, crunchy, and colorful snack. Easy to make and perfect for the holiday, this vibrant snack is sure to be a hit at family gatherings, parties, and celebrations.


Ingredients

For the Puppy Chow:

  • 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 16 ounces Wilton’s Green Icing
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ¾ cup sugar cookie mix
  • 1 package white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Melt the White Chocolate:

    • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  2. Add Green Icing:

    • Stir the green icing into the melted white chocolate until well combined.
  3. Coat the Cereal:

    • Place the Rice Chex cereal in a large bowl.
    • Pour the green chocolate mixture over the cereal, gently stirring to coat each piece evenly.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients:

    • In a separate bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and sugar cookie mix.
    • Sprinkle this mixture over the coated cereal, tossing to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
  5. Set and Serve:

    • Spread the coated cereal onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    • Allow it to set for about 30 minutes or until the coating hardens.
    • Once set, break into pieces and serve.

Notes

  • Color Customization: Swap the green icing for different colored icings to match other holidays or themes.
  • Flavor Twist: Add a teaspoon of mint extract to the melted chocolate for a refreshing minty flavor.
  • Nutty Addition: Stir in chopped nuts like almonds or pecans for a crunchy texture.
  • Chocolate Variety: Use dark or milk chocolate chips instead of white chocolate for a different flavor.
