How To Make pumpkin spice puppy chow
-
Step 1Pour the cereal into a large bowl. Set aside.
-
Step 2In 20 second increments, melt the candy melts or white chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl.
-
Step 3Stir after each increment until melted and completely smooth.
-
Step 4Stir in 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and the pumpkin pie spice until combined.
-
Step 5Pour mixture over cereal and toss gently to coat each square. Be gentle, the squares break easily.
-
Step 6Pour the confectioners' sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon into a large zipped-top bag.
-
Step 7Add the coated cereal and shake until each piece is coated.
-
Step 8Pour back into a large bowl and discard excess confectioners' sugar.
-
Step 9Toss in the mallowcreme pumpkins. Use 1 - 2 cups, whatever amount you prefer.
-
Step 10Cover and store puppy chow for up to 2 weeks.
-
Step 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).
