Scale
Base Ingredients:
- 1 12.8-ounces (362 grams) chocolate Chex cereal
- 8 ounces (227 grams) dark or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
Sugar Coating:
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup (67 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup (32 grams) Dutch processed or unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) powdered sugar
Optional Add-ins:
- 2/3 cup (126 grams) chocolate sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare a spacious mixing vessel and gently transfer the crisp cereal, creating a fluffy base for the decadent transformation.
- Craft a flavor-enhancing blend by whisking brown sugar, granulated sugar, and rich cocoa powder in a compact mixing bowl, setting the aromatic mixture aside.
- Strategically melt chocolate using microwave technique: place chopped chocolate in microwave-safe container, heat for 20 seconds at HIGH, stir meticulously, and repeat warming process until chocolate reaches smooth, glossy consistency.
- Swiftly drizzle molten chocolate over cereal, using gentle folding motions to ensure uniform, luxurious coating without crushing delicate cereal pieces.
- Transfer chocolate-coated cereal into generous zip-top bag or sealed container, sprinkle colorful confetti-like decorations, and vigorously shake to distribute evenly.
- Introduce reserved sugar-cocoa mixture into the bag, executing another vigorous shake to create comprehensive flavor coverage, then incorporate powdered sugar for final, delicate dusting.
- Elegantly spread the transformed mixture onto foil or parchment-lined baking sheet, allowing natural cooling process to set delightful texture, then store in sealed container at ambient temperature for up to seven days.
Notes
- Check Chocolate Quality Use high-quality chocolate for richer, more intense flavor that elevates the entire puppy chow experience.
- Prevent Clumping Ensure cereal is completely dry before coating to avoid soggy or sticky texture that ruins the crunch.
- Customize Sprinkles Select festive or seasonal sprinkles to match celebrations or personal preferences, making the treat more fun and personalized.
- Gluten-Free Option Swap regular cereal with gluten-free Rice Chex or similar alternative to accommodate dietary restrictions without compromising taste.
