Equipment

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces pistachio butter 3/4 cup
  • 4 ounces white chocolate chips/bark 1/2 cup
  • 7 cups Rice Chex Cereal
  • 1 cup roasted & salted shelled pistachios
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Butter Seasoning
  • 1-1 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • Optional add-ins: roasted & salted pretzels, dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Add white chocolate to a microwave safe bowl, and microwave for 30 second intervals until the chocolate is fully melted, stirring between each interval.
  • Combine the pistachio butter and melted white chocolate together, and stir until combined.
  • Add Chex cereal to a large bowl, and use a rubber spatula to scoop the pistachio-white chocolate mixture over the top of the cereal. Stir until the cereal is fully coated.
  • Add salted and roasted shelled pistachios to the coated cereal, along with the Brown Butter Seasoning, and mix until fully combined and coated.
  • Pour the entire mixture into a gallon size freezer bag, and add in 1/3 cup of the powdered sugar. Seal the bag closed, leaving some air in the bag, and shake until the mixture is fully coated. Add more powdered sugar, 1/3 cup at a time, and repeat until the puppy chow is coated to your liking.
  • Pour the White Chocolate Pistachio Puppy Chow into a separate clean bowl, and add your preferred add-ins. Mix to combine, and enjoy!
  • Store the Puppy Chow in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week (or in the freezer for up to 2 months).
