Ingredients

Scale

Spice Mix

  • 3 tbsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp ginger
  • 1 tbsp cardamom
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp cloves
  • 1 tsp allspice

Main Mix

  • 6 cups (180g) rice Chex cereal
  • 1 cup (180g) dairy-free white chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup (170g) No Sugar Added SunButter
  • 2 tbsp (25g) coconut oil (optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Coating Sugar

  • 1 cup (200g) turbinado sugar OR 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Mix spices: In a small bowl, combine cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. Set this chai spice mixture aside for later use.
  2. Melt chocolate mixture: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the dairy-free white chocolate chips, SunButter, vanilla extract, and optional coconut oil. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir thoroughly until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Combine with cereal: Pour the rice Chex cereal into a large bowl. Add the melted chocolate and SunButter mixture and stir gently but thoroughly until each piece of cereal is evenly coated in the creamy mixture.
  4. Add sugar and spices: Mix the previously made spice blend with your choice of turbinado or powdered sugar in a separate bowl. Sprinkle this sugar-spice mix over the coated cereal, stirring well to ensure an even cinnamon-sugar chai coating on all cereal pieces.
  5. Spread and chill: Spread the coated cereal as evenly as possible on a large baking sheet lined with wax paper. The more spread out it is, the fewer clumps you’ll have. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for 4 hours to set and firm up the coating.
  6. Serve: After chilling, break apart any clusters of puppy chow. Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy your spiced, sweet chai snickerdoodle puppy chow. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for freshness.

Notes

  • Use dairy-free white chocolate chips and SunButter to keep this recipe vegan and allergy-friendly.
  • Coconut oil is optional but helps create a smoother coating and firmer texture when refrigerated.
  • Turbinado sugar will give a coarser texture and a slight molasses flavor, while powdered sugar will provide a finer, sweeter coating.
  • Keep the snack refrigerated to maintain freshness and texture, especially because of the natural fats in SunButter.
  • For an added crunch, you can stir in chopped nuts or toasted coconut after the chilling step.
