Description
Easy Pistachio Puppy Chow is a quick no-bake snack that combines Chex cereal with a creamy pistachio-white chocolate coating and a powdered sugar finish. Crunchy, sweet, and slightly nutty, it’s perfect for parties or edible gifting.
Ingredients
3 cups Rice Chex cereal
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons instant pistachio pudding mix
1 cup powdered sugar
¼ cup shelled pistachios, chopped
Instructions
1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until fully melted and smooth.
2. Stir in pistachio pudding mix until fully blended and uniformly green.
3. Place Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the pistachio coating over the cereal and gently fold until evenly coated.
4. Transfer the mixture to a large ziplock bag or container with lid. Add powdered sugar, seal, and shake until well-coated.
5. Spread the mixture on parchment to cool. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios and let set.
6. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
Notes
For best coating, make sure to stir gently to avoid crushing the cereal.
If you want a bolder pistachio color, add a drop of green food coloring to the chocolate mix.
Use a sifter for the powdered sugar to get even coverage and prevent clumping.
