Ingredients
Scale
9 cups Chex cereal (Rice, Corn, or Wheat)
1 (14 ounce) package caramel candies
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup apple cider mix (like Swiss Miss)
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup diced dried apples (optional)
Instructions
In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel candies and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the caramel is completely melted and smooth.
Stir the apple cider mix into the melted caramel until well combined.
Pour the Chex cereal into a very large bowl. Pour the melted caramel mixture over the cereal and gently stir until the cereal is evenly coated.
Place the powdered sugar in a large ziplock bag. Add the caramel-coated cereal to the bag, seal it tightly, and shake well until the cereal is completely coated in powdered sugar.
Spread the puppy chow in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the diced dried apples over the puppy chow while it’s still slightly sticky.
Once the puppy chow is completely cool and the caramel is set, break it into pieces and store it in an airtight container.
