Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 cups rice cereal squares
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup pistachio butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Measure all your ingredients and have them ready. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter and white chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the mixture is smooth and completely melted. Be careful not to overheat it.
  • Once smooth, stir in the creamy pistachio butter until it’s fully incorporated and the mixture is a beautiful, uniform green hue.
  • Finally, add the pure vanilla extract, giving it another good stir to ensure all the flavors are well combined. The mixture should be glossy, smooth, and wonderfully aromatic.
  • Carefully pour the entire pistachio-chocolate mixture over your rice cereal in an extra-large mixing bowl. Using a large rubber spatula, gently fold and stir the cereal until every single piece is evenly coated.
  • Pour about half of your powdered sugar into a large, sturdy zip-top bag. Carefully add about half of the coated cereal to the bag. Seal the bag, pressing out as much air as possible.
  • Gently shake and tumble the bag, rotating it and ensuring the powdered sugar coats all surfaces of the cereal. Continue shaking until the cereal is completely covered in a beautiful cloud of white. Pour this batch out onto your prepared parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining powdered sugar and coated cereal.
  • Once both batches are dusted, spread them out evenly on the baking sheet and allow the puppy chow to cool completely and for the coating to set, about 30 minutes at room temperature, or you can pop it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes for a quicker set.
