Description
A sweet, crunchy fall twist on the classic puppy chow (Muddy Buddies), this Caramel Apple Puppy Chow combines apple chips, caramel, white chocolate, and Chex cereal for a deliciously addictive autumn treat.
Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1 ½ cups dried apple chips, broken into small pieces
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or vanilla candy melts
- ½ cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place Chex cereal and apple chip pieces in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Stir caramel sauce and cinnamon into the melted white chocolate until combined.
- Pour the caramel-white chocolate mixture over the cereal and apple chips. Gently toss until evenly coated.
- In a large resealable plastic bag, combine powdered sugar, brown sugar, and salt.
- Add the coated cereal mixture to the bag, seal, and shake gently until the cereal is fully covered with the sugar mixture.
- Spread the puppy chow onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
- For a stronger caramel flavor, drizzle extra caramel over the cooled mix before serving.
- Try using cinnamon or caramel-flavored Chex for added flavor.
- Mix in some pecans, pretzels, or M&M’s for a fun variation.
- This makes a great edible gift for fall parties and holidays!
