Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 7 cups rice Chex cereal
  • 1¾ cups chopped candy canes

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups melted white chocolate (almond bark or white chocolate wafers)

Instructions

  1. Melt the White Chocolate: Gently melt the white chocolate or almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, stirring frequently until smooth and creamy.
  2. Coat the Cereal: Pour the melted white chocolate over the rice Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl. Use a spatula to gently fold the cereal and chocolate together, ensuring all the cereal is evenly coated.
  3. Add Candy Canes: Sprinkle the chopped candy canes over the coated cereal. Gently fold again to distribute the peppermint pieces throughout the mixture.
  4. Cool and Set: Spread the mixture out in a single layer on wax paper or a large baking sheet to cool and harden. Allow the bark puppy chow to set completely at room temperature or place it in the refrigerator for faster setting.
  5. Serve: Once hardened, break into clusters as desired and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Use crushed candy canes for the best peppermint flavor and a slight crunch.
  • If preferred, white chocolate chips can be used instead of almond bark or wafers.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week to keep it fresh.
  • Can be customized by adding other mix-ins like mini marshmallows or sprinkles for extra festivity.
