When I tell you I eat a bowl of cereal almost every night as a late-night snack, I’m not kidding. So, it was only natural I made a version of the holiday staple, puppy chow, with my favorite cereals and a few extra goodies. Hope you love it! Oh, and there’s edible glitter.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cereal squares, honey and graham cereal and pretzel pieces. Mix them together and set aside.
  2. Melt the Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread and Baking Chips: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate-hazelnut spread with the white chocolate and butterscotch chips in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until melted and smooth.
  3. Drizzle the Sweetness: Pour the melted chocolate-hazelnut-butterscotch mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Carefully stir to coat all the dry ingredients evenly. 
  4. Cool and Set: Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or a large tray to cool and set. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes or until it's no longer sticky.
  5. Give it a dusting: Spoon the powdered sugar and salt over the mixture and give it a good toss to make sure everything is coated evenly. Transfer to a bowl if that’s easier for you!
  6. Add Some Sparkle: Don't forget the magic! Sprinkle edible glitter generously over the reindeer chow. Watch it glisten and shine like fresh snow in the winter sun. Scatter over some candy-coated chocolate balls for a pop of color and yum.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Now, it's time to enjoy the magic. Serve your reindeer chow in festive bowls or package it up and give away as gifts! 
  8. Store any leftovers in an airtight container. Reindeer chow can last for 1 to 2 weeks at room temperature!
