Ingredients

  • 6 cups rice Chex cereal or your favorite gluten-free square cereal
  • 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips choose high-quality, no artificial oils
  • ¼ cup coconut butter or coconut oil helps with coating
  • 2 tsp ceremonial grade matcha powder sifted, for best flavor + color
  • 1 cup powdered sugar or swap for monk fruit/organic powdered sweetener
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  • Prep the coating: In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt white chocolate chips with coconut butter/oil until smooth.
  • Mix in matcha: Sift the matcha into the melted chocolate and stir until vibrant green and fully combined then add a pinch of salt.
  • Coat the cereal: Place cereal in a large bowl. Pour the matcha-chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently toss until every piece is coated.
  • Powder finish: Transfer coated cereal into a large zip-top bag or lidded container. Add powdered sugar then shake until fully coated.
  • Cool + serve: Spread puppy chow on a baking sheet lined with parchment to cool and set. Add optional mix-ins (freeze-dried berries, coconut, etc.) before serving.

Notes

  • Sift your matcha! This avoids clumps and ensures even color + flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temp for up to 5 days
  • Extra Matcha Kick: Add another teaspoon of matcha to the powdered sugar mix for a deeper green color and stronger flavor.
