Ingredients:
- 9 cups Rice Chex Cereal
- 1 cup High-Quality White Chocolate Chips
- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 tsp Fine Sea Salt or Kosher Salt
- 2 cups Powdered Sugar (Icing Sugar)
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar (Caster Sugar)
- 2 Tbsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Cream of Tartar
Instructions:
- Place the 9 cups of cereal into a very large mixing bowl. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and the cream of tartar thoroughly to create the Snickerdoodle Shake mixture. Set aside.
- Combine the white chocolate chips and unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until completely smooth and lump-free (90-120 seconds total). Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.
- Pour the melted white chocolate mixture immediately over the measured cereal. Using a rubber spatula, carefully fold the mixture until the cereal is evenly coated, working quickly and gently to avoid crushing the flakes.
- Carefully spoon the coated cereal into an extra-large zip-top freezer bag. Add approximately half of the prepared Snickerdoodle Shake mixture, seal the bag (removing air), and shake vigorously for 60-90 seconds. Open the bag, add the remaining shake mix, and shake for another 60 seconds until every piece of cereal is thoroughly covered and no longer sticky.
- Spread the finished Snickerdoodle Puppy Chow onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow to cool and set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes for a faster set. Once completely cooled and dry, break up any large clumps and store in an airtight container.
