Ingredients

Scale

Spice Mix

  • 3 tbsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp ginger
  • 1 tbsp cardamom
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp cloves
  • 1 tsp allspice

Main Ingredients

  • 6 cups (180g) rice Chex cereal
  • 1 cup (180g) dairy-free white chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup (170g) No Sugar Added SunButter
  • 2 tbsp (25g) coconut oil (optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (200g) turbinado sugar OR 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Mix the Spices: In a small bowl, combine cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. Set this aromatic spice mixture aside for later use.
  2. Melt the Chocolate Mixture: In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, add the dairy-free white chocolate chips, No Sugar Added SunButter, vanilla extract, and optional coconut oil. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
  3. Coat the Cereal: Pour the rice Chex cereal into a large bowl. Add the melted white chocolate and SunButter mixture, stirring gently but thoroughly to ensure each piece of cereal is evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
  4. Add Sugar and Spice: Combine the prepared spice mix and the chosen sugar (turbinado or powdered) in a separate bowl. Sprinkle this combined mixture over the coated cereal and stir carefully to coat all pieces evenly with the spiced sugar blend.
  5. Spread and Chill: Spread the coated cereal mixture onto a large baking sheet lined with wax paper, ensuring it is spread out as much as possible to prevent clumping during refrigeration.
  6. Refrigerate: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 4 hours to allow the coating to set firmly.
  7. Serve: After chilling, break apart any large clumps and enjoy your Chai Snickerdoodle Puppy Chow. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • The coconut oil is optional but adds a smoother texture and richer flavor to the coating.
  • Use dairy-free white chocolate chips to keep this recipe vegan and dairy-free.
  • You can substitute turbinado sugar with powdered sugar depending on preferred texture and sweetness level.
  • Keep the Puppy Chow refrigerated for up to 1 week for best freshness.
  • To avoid big clumps, make sure to spread the mixture out well on the baking sheet before refrigeration.
