Make this easy, no-bake Pistachio Puppy Chow Mix using white chocolate and powdered sugar for a sweet and salty snack perfect for parties or game day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/4 cup finely ground, unsalted pistachios
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Place the Chex cereal in a very large bowl. Set aside.
  2. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until completely smooth. This usually takes about 1 to 1.5 minutes total.
  3. Stir the vanilla extract and almond extract into the melted mixture.
  4. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal in the large bowl. Gently fold the cereal until it is evenly coated.
  5. In a large zip-top bag, combine the powdered sugar and the finely ground pistachios. Mix them together briefly.
  6. Add the coated cereal to the bag with the sugar and pistachio mixture. Seal the bag, leaving some air inside. Shake the bag gently until the cereal is fully coated with the powdered sugar mixture.
  7. Spread the coated cereal mixture onto a large sheet of wax paper or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool and set.
  8. Once completely cool, break apart any large clumps. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • For a more vibrant green snack, you can add 1-2 drops of green food coloring to the melted chocolate mixture before coating the cereal.
  • If you prefer a less sweet mix, reduce the powdered sugar to 1 cup.
  • Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best melting consistency.
