This is hands down my favorite dessert and snack—I literally can’t be trusted with it in the house and only make it when I know I’ll be giving it away or sharing it. It’s Birthday Cake Puppy Chow, a new (and improved in my opinion) riff on the classic chocolate and peanut butter treat.

White chocolate, powdered sugar and cake mix cover Chex cereal in an addictively delicious coating whose flavor is amplified by the addition of golden birthday cake Oreos. When I brought it to my daughter’s class as her birthday treat it was literally gone in minutes. You have to make a batch and experience this deliciousness for yourself!

 

Ingredients:

5 c rice chex cereal

10 oz white chocolate baking bar

1/4 c funfetti cake mix

1/4 c powdered sugar

10 finely crushed golden birthday cake oreos (i used my food processor)

10 or more chopped golden birthday cake oreos

 

Directions:

Put rice chex cereal and finely crushed oreos into a medium sized bowl. Mix them up a little bit.

Slowly melt white chocolate in the microwave, stopping every 30 seconds or so to make sure it doesn’t burn.

Add melted white candy melts to chex cereal and lightly stir to coat evenly. Be careful to not break the chex cereal too much.

Add the powdered sugar and funfetti cake mix to the white chocolate covered chex cereal and lightly stir to coat evenly with powdered sugar.

Allow to dry and add chopped oreos.

Quick tip: To make sure your chocolate melts smoothly add a teaspoon or two of oil (vegetable, canola or coconut work) before putting in the microwave.
