Ingredients

• 8 cups chex cereal
• 1 package white chocolate candiquik
• 2 tbsp vegetable shortening
• 1 to 1 & 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• gold glitter sprinkles
• edible gold star sprinkles

Directions

• In a large bowl, place the chex cereal. Set aside. Use a knife to divide the candiquik into squares for easier melting. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the candiquik and vegetable shortening. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Before pouring the chocolate, make sure to reserve some (about 1/4 cup) for drizzling on top of the puppy chow. Pour the chocolate on top of the chex and gently mix to evenly coat the cereal. Quickly transfer the chocolate covered cereal to a large gallon sized ziploc bag. Add in 1 cup of powdered sugar, seal and shake viciously until the cereal is coated. If the cereal is not completely coated, add another 1/2 cup powdered sugar and shake again. Pour the cereal onto a large baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining white chocolate on top of the cereal and then add the gold sprinkles and edible gold stars. I like to work in small sections when drizzling the chocolate so it doesn’t harden before I add the sprinkles. Allow the puppy chow to set on the pan for 15 minutes. Place the puppy chow in a bowl and add additional gold stars.
