Cake Batter Puppy Chow Recipe
Description
This recipe begins by baking yellow cake mix to 160°F to remove any risk from raw flour. Once cooled, rice Chex cereal is combined with melted white chocolate, then stirred with the baked cake mix, powdered sugar, and rainbow sprinkles. This layering creates a sweet, crunchy coating that clings to each cereal piece. The white chocolate cools slightly before adding sprinkles to avoid melting them.
This snack offers a playful, cake-flavored twist on traditional puppy chow, with contrasting textures from crunchy cereal and smooth chocolate. It’s easy to prepare and serves well as a party treat or casual snack.
Storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator keeps the mixture fresh up to two weeks. Variations with different chocolates or sprinkle types offer customization.
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cake mix
- 8 cups rice chex cereal
- 8 ounces white melting chocolate
- 2 tablespoons Rainbow sprinkles
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Spread the yellow cake mix in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 5 minutes, or until the temperture reaches 160°F. This will prevent possible foodborne illness from consuming raw flour. Set aside to cool.
- Pour the rice Chex in a large bowl.
- Melt the white chocolate according to package directions.
- Pour the melted white chocolate over the Chex, and gently stir to fully coat the Chex.
- Wait a couple of minutes for the chocolate to cool slightly, then gently stir in the sprinkles.
- Add in the yellow cake mix and powdered sugar, and gently toss the Chex to fully coat them in the mixture.
Notes
- Store Cake Batter Puppy Chow in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
- You can use white, milk, or dark melting chocolate to vary flavors.
- Substitute chocolate sprinkles if making a chocolate version.
- Add cake mix and powdered sugar before the chocolate coating cools to ensure proper coverage.
