Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, measure out 9 cups of Chex cereal. Set aside.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and cream cheese flavored chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and melted. Be careful not to overheat.
  • Stir the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture.
  • Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the Chex cereal in the large bowl. Gently stir until all the cereal is evenly coated.
  • In a separate bowl or bag, combine the crushed cheesecake sandwich cookies and crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
  • Add the coated cereal to the cookie and strawberry mixture. Gently toss or stir until well combined and the cereal is coated in the cookie and strawberry dust.
  • Spread the puppy chow on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool and set.
  • Once cooled, toss with powdered sugar until evenly coated. If the mixture seems too sticky, add more powdered sugar. Store in an airtight container.
