A quick and easy fall-inspired snack combining tart apple chips, sweet caramel, and crunchy cereal for a crowd-pleasing treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 1 cup caramel chips
  • 1 cup apple chips, crumbled
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Place the Rice Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel chips and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and melted. Add the vanilla extract and optional pinch of cinnamon, stirring to combine.
  3. Pour the melted caramel mixture over the Rice Chex cereal. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the cereal until evenly coated.
  4. Add the crumbled apple chips to the bowl and mix lightly to distribute them throughout the caramel-coated cereal.
  5. Transfer the mixture into a large zip-top bag. Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake until the cereal is fully coated.
  6. Spread the puppy chow out onto a baking sheet or large plate to cool for 10–15 minutes.
  7. Once cooled, transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy!

Notes

For a more intense apple flavor, add a few drops of apple extract to the caramel mixture. Store in an airtight container for up to one week or freeze for up to three months.
