Ingredients

Cookies 'n Cream Puppy Chow

  • 3 oz semi-sweet chocolate squares or chocolate chips
  • 3 oz milk chocolate squares or chips
  • 3 oz white chocolate squares or chips
  • 1 1/2 tsp canola oil or 1 1/2 tsp shortening
  • 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 4 Oreos crushed into pieces
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Salted Caramel Puppy Chow

  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt or table salt
  • 2 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 4 Oreos crushed into pieces
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Begin by crushing the 8 oreos in a food processor (you can do by hand, but it takes longer). Add half the mixture to one large zippered baggie, and the other half to a second zippered baggie. Set aside.
  • Set out two large bowls. Place 4 c of cereal into one, and 2 c into the other. Set aside.
  • Take two small bowls and place the milk and semi-sweet chocolate in one and the white in the other. Pour 1 tsp of oil in with the milk and semi-sweet chocolate. Pour the other 1/2 tsp of oil in with the white chocolate. Melt the bowls separately.
  • Once the chocolate is melted, pour both bowls into the bowl with 4 c Rice cereal. Stir gently. You want all pieces to be mostly covered by the chocolate, but you don't want to crush the fragile cereal.
  • In the other bowl of cereal, pour the 1/2 c of caramel and salt over the cereal. Stir gently.
  • Once both cereals are mixed and coated, pour each bowl into the zippered baggies. Zip them up, and shake until the oreo crumbs have stuck.
  • Open the baggies up, and in the bag with the chocolate, pour 1 c of powdered sugar into the bag, and shake until completely coated. In the caramel bag, pour 1/2 c powdered sugar into the bag and shake until completely coated.
  • Enjoy!
