Pistachio Puppy Chow Snack (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 5 cups (approx. 125 g) rice Chex cereal

→ Coating

02 - 2 cups (340 g) white chocolate melting wafers
03 - 1/4 cup (57 g) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
04 - 2/3 cup (80 g) powdered sugar
05 - 1 box (96 g) instant pistachio pudding mix
06 - 1/4 teaspoon almond extract

# Instructions:

01 - Place rice Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl and set aside. Line a baking sheet or work surface with parchment or wax paper.
02 - Add powdered sugar and dry instant pistachio pudding mix to a large zip-top bag. Seal and shake to evenly mix.
03 - Add almond extract to the bag. Seal again and shake thoroughly to distribute the extract throughout the dry mixture.
04 - In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate wafers and butter. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then continue heating in 15-second increments until fully melted and smooth.
05 - Pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture over the Chex cereal. Gently toss to ensure the cereal is evenly coated, working quickly before the chocolate begins to set.
06 - Transfer the coated cereal into the prepared zip-top bag. Seal the bag and shake until all pieces are thoroughly coated with the sugar and pistachio mixture.
07 - Spread the coated cereal mixture onto the lined surface. Allow to cool completely before serving or packaging.

# Notes:

01 - Work quickly when stirring the melted chocolate into the cereal to prevent clumping and ensure even coating.
