Equipment

Ingredients

1 pound vanilla almond bark OR Ghirardelli white melting wafers
8 cups apple cinnamon Chex cereal
3 teaspoons apple pie spice
1½ cups powdered sugar
1 cup caramel bits
1 ounce freeze-dried apples (cut into pieces)
Caramel for drizzling (if desired)

Instructions

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the almond bark/white chocolate wafers on 30 second increments (low power)until melted and smooth.
In a large bowl, add Chex cereal and apple pie spice. Stir to combine. Pour 1 cup of melted chocolate over cereal and gently stir to combine, ensuring each piece of cereal is coated. Reserve the remaining melted chocolate for topping.
*Alternatively, you can add cereal to a large ziploc bag, add the melted chocolate, seal the bag, and then shake to combine.*
Sift powdered sugar over the cereal and stir until cereal is fully coated.
Pour cereal mixture into an even layer onto a large baking pan lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the caramel bits and freeze-dried apples over cereal. Drizzle remaining melted chocolate over cereal and add caramel (if desired).
Allow to set for 15-20 minutes.

Notes

If you can't find apple cinnamon Chex cereal, rice or corn Chex will work just as well.
Coating the cereal with the melted chocolate can get messy. Alternatively, you can add cereal to a large ziploc bag, add the melted chocolate, seal the bag, and then shake to combine.
Puppy chow will keep in an airtight container or ziploc bag for up to one week.
