Caramel Apple Puppy Chow

Here is a fun twist on the original puppy chow - lets do a caramel apple version!
It's sweet, salty, crunchy and fun.

I love, love, love this new recipe!

I'm going to assume you've all had a bite or two of the original "puppy chow" recipe where Rice Chex cereal gets coated in melted peanut butter and chocolate, then tossed in powdered sugar, right?

If not, that recipe is a gem too.

BUT, this version - it screams all things Fall! Hints of apple cider, cinnamon, caramel and a sweet powdered sugar coating.



All the ingredients on a counter needed for Caramel Apple Puppy Chow




Just seven ingredients are needed for this dandy - Rice Chex cereal, white chocolate chips, caramel bits, dry apple cider mix, cinnamon, butter and powdered sugar.

You're going to want to print this one off and tuck it in a corner cabinet as you'll be making it for years. My kids kept swinging by while it was "cooling" sneaking bites. It was quickly given an A+ by all of them.

I'm imagining taking it to football games, tailgating parties, Fall potlucks and more.

The butter, caramel bits and white chocolate chips melt down into a thick, buttery caramel sauce that you pour over all the Rice Chex cereal.

THEN, the magic ingredient to give it that tangy apple cider flavor is to sprinkle a dry apple cider mix all over the cereal and mix it together with the caramel.

And then of course top it all with fluffy powdered sugar and give t a good shake.

This tray is the perfect size to make for anything this Fall....class party? Girls night? Halloween fun? Family reunion?

They'd all be great.

It's just enough fun sweetness for a gathering yet not too much that you're grabbing handfuls for a week off the kitchen counter.

Want something salty to go with this new sweet treat? Give my Harvest Trail Mix a try (pretzels, Cheez-Its, salted peanuts, Reese's pieces and more). Or how about my Zesty Ranch Pretzels? It's my Mom's recipe that she has been making for years. Another great salty option.

And while where at it...

Need a cocktail to go with it? Here is my favorite list of 10 Boozy Cocktails for Fall.

So who is ready to try the NEW kind of puppy chow in town?

(or in some areas of the woods, I guess they call this muddy buddies?)

I'd love for you to tag me (@sweetsavoryeats) with your photos and I'll be sure to share them.

  1. Caramel apples may look like a fun treat, but traditional caramel apples are not suitable for puppies. Caramel usually contains large amounts of sugar, and some recipes may include ingredients that are unsafe for dogs.

    Fortunately, you can make a puppy-friendly version inspired by the idea of a caramel apple. https://f1casino-deutsch.com/

  2. I once tried to introduce my incredibly picky dog to a new, supposedly revolutionary, brand of dog food. She sniffed it, then dramatically turned her head, as if saying "Is this a joke? Where's my usual Moto x3m worthy treat?" The struggle was real.

  13. Putting a seasonal autumn twist on classic puppy chow by infusing it with apple cider, cinnamon, and caramel flavors sounds like an absolute game-changer for fall snacking.

    Have you ever experimented with adding fall spices like cinnamon and apple cider reduction to classic treats, or do you prefer sticking to the traditional peanut butter and chocolate original?

  15. The apple cider and cinnamon in the coating sound like they'd balance the sweet powdered sugar nicely. I could see making a batch for a cozy afternoon with perler bead patterns spread out on the table, since both feel like easy, hands-on activities. Does the cereal stay crunchy once the cider is mixed in?
