½ cup peanut butter
½ cup honey
8 ounces white chocolate chips
8 ounces caramel chips
1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
1 cup dried apple pieces
Directions
1.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips, caramel chips, peanut butter, and honey, heating in 30-second intervals until melted.
2.
Stir the melted mixture until smooth and completely combined, ensuring no lumps remain for an even coating.
3.
Add Rice Chex cereal to the bowl, gently folding the mixture to coat all cereal pieces thoroughly.
4.
Sprinkle apple pie spice over the coated cereal, mixing well to ensure even distribution of flavors and spices.
5.
Transfer the coated cereal into a large resealable bag or container, adding powdered sugar slowly.
6.
Shake the bag or container vigorously until all cereal pieces are well-coated with powdered sugar.
7.
Spread the puppy chow mixture on a large baking sheet to cool and harden, ensuring pieces do not stick together.
8.
Once cooled, mix in dried apple pieces, incorporating them evenly throughout the puppy chow batch.
9.
Store the mixture in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week for optimal freshness.
