4.4 from 146 reviews

French Toast Puppy Chow is a delightful sweet snack mix featuring crunchy Chex cereal coated in a warm blend of peanut butter, white chocolate, maple syrup, and cinnamon, then dusted with powdered sugar for a perfect balance of flavors reminiscent of classic French toast.

Ingredients

Scale

Cereal

  • 8 cups Chex cereal (corn or rice)

Coating

  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon maple extract (optional)

Finishing

  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coating: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter, white chocolate chips, maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Microwave the mixture in 20-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth and well combined. If using, stir in the maple extract to enhance the flavor.
  2. Coat the Cereal: Add the Chex cereal to the melted mixture and gently toss to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the warm, sweet blend.
  3. Add Powdered Sugar and Cinnamon: Place the remaining teaspoon of cinnamon and the powdered sugar in a large gallon-size plastic bag. Transfer the coated cereal into the bag, seal it tightly, and shake vigorously until all the cereal pieces are thoroughly coated with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  4. Set the Puppy Chow: Spread the coated cereal out in a single layer over a baking sheet or wax paper so it can cool and set. This prevents clumping and ensures crispness.
  5. Store Properly: Once cooled, transfer the French Toast Puppy Chow to an airtight container to keep it fresh and crunchy for snacking later.

Notes

  • You can choose either corn or rice Chex cereal depending on your preference—both work well with this recipe.
  • Microwave heating times may vary; keep a close eye and stir frequently to avoid burning the white chocolate and peanut butter mixture.
  • Adding maple extract is optional but enhances the authentic French toast flavor.
  • Store the puppy chow in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week for optimal freshness.
  • Perfect for parties, holiday treats, or an easy sweet snack.
