How To Make pumpkin spice puppy chow

  • 1
    Pour the cereal into a large bowl. Set aside.
  • 2
    In 20 second increments, melt the candy melts or white chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl.
  • 3
    Stir after each increment until melted and completely smooth.
  • 4
    Stir in 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and the pumpkin pie spice until combined.
  • 5
    Pour mixture over cereal and toss gently to coat each square. Be gentle, the squares break easily.
  • 6
    Pour the confectioners' sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon into a large zipped-top bag.
  • 7
    Add the coated cereal and shake until each piece is coated.
  • 8
    Pour back into a large bowl and discard excess confectioners' sugar.
  • 9
    Toss in the mallowcreme pumpkins. Use 1 - 2 cups, whatever amount you prefer.
  • 10
    Cover and store puppy chow for up to 2 weeks.
  • 11
    *Instead of mallowcreme pumpkins, try adding 1 cup of Pumpkin Spice M&Ms or Candy Corn M&Ms, 1 cup of Pumpkin Spice Hershey's Kisses, 1 cup of cinnamon chips, 1/2 cup of orange sprinkles, or even 1 cup of salty pumpkin seeds (which will cut the sweetness of the snack mix).
