Description
Cake Batter Puppy Chow is a sweet and crunchy snack made with Chex cereal coated in a mixture of melted white chocolate and cake mix, then tossed in powdered sugar and sprinkles. It’s a no-bake treat perfect for parties, holidays, or just satisfying your sweet tooth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 9 cups Chex cereal (Rice or Corn Chex work best)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup dry cake mix (vanilla or funfetti)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter
- 1½ cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup sprinkles (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and vegetable oil or butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and melted.
- Add the dry cake mix to the melted chocolate and stir until fully combined. Add vanilla extract if using.
- Place Chex cereal in a large bowl. Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently toss until all pieces are coated.
- Transfer the coated cereal into a large resealable bag or another large bowl. Add powdered sugar and shake or fold gently to coat evenly.
- Optionally, add sprinkles and toss again to distribute.
- Spread the mixture on a wax paper-lined baking sheet and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving or storing.
Notes
- Use short microwave intervals to avoid seizing the chocolate.
- Ensure each piece of cereal is fully coated before adding powdered sugar.
- Fresh cereal provides the best texture.
- Freeze briefly to help coating set quickly.
- Try different cake mix flavors for variety.
