Ingredients

  • Rice Chex or Corn Chex cereal
  • White chocolate chips or baking squares
  • Cream cheese powder or cream cheese extract
  • Freeze-dried cherry powder or cherry extract
  • Powdered sugar
  • Graham cracker crumbs
  • Unsalted butter or coconut oil
  • Vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Cereal: Measure out your Chex cereal and gently pour it into a very large mixing bowl. Set this aside.
  2. Melt the White Chocolate Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine your white chocolate chips, unsalted butter, and if using, your cream cheese extract and cherry extract. Heat on high for 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval until completely smooth and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Coat the Cereal with Chocolate: Pour the melted white chocolate mixture evenly over the cereal in your large mixing bowl. Gently fold the cereal until every piece is coated without crushing them.
  4. Prepare the Coating Mixture: In a very large zip-top plastic bag, add your powdered sugar, cream cheese powder, freeze-dried cherry powder, and graham cracker crumbs. Seal the bag and shake to combine.
  5. Coat the Cereal with Powdered Sugar: Transfer about half of your chocolate-coated cereal into the bag with the powdered sugar mixture. Seal the bag and shake vigorously until every piece is coated. Repeat with the remaining cereal.
  6. Spread and Cool: Spread the Cherry Cheesecake Puppy Chow in a single layer onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let it sit at room temperature for at least 15-20 minutes until the coating is no longer sticky.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled and set, your Cherry Cheesecake Puppy Chow is ready to be served or stored for later.

Keywords: For best results, handle the white chocolate with care to prevent it from seizing. You can customize the sweetness of the powdered sugar coating to your preference.
