Cinnamon Puppy Chow
Last weekend, my sisters and mom came to visit me in Cincinnati. It was time once again for our annual girls weekend. The weekend was filled with some fun touristy activities, movies on the couch, and just lots of catching up. It also included some great food.
Since I was hosting, I got to go all out and show off my grilling skills (Hubby disappeared for the weekend to give us the full girls weekend experience). I also whipped up some ice cream, some sorbet, and some snacks. My family is a big snacking family and Puppy Chow is one of our all time favorites.
In fact, one of the first holidays I spent with Hubby, I whipped up a batch of Puppy Chow for his family. They had never heard of it, but devoured it just the same. This Cinnamon Puppy Chow is absolutely addictive. As a clan, we demolished the first batch on Thursday night. So we whipped up another batch on Saturday night for the second round of chick flicks.
Whether it’s for girls weekend, hanging with the kids, or just for yourself, you want to make this Cinnamon Puppy Chow.

Cinnamon Puppy Chow
If you like Puppy Chow, you're going to love this cinnamon version. It's down-right addictive!
Yield: 4 cups
Ingredients:
4 cups Chex cereal
2/3 cup cinnamon chips
4 Tbsp butter
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbsp sugar
3/4 tsp cinnamon
Directions:
Pour the Chex cereal into a medium bowl.
Melt the cinnamon chips and butter in a microwave save bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir. Heat for another 15 seconds and stir until completely smooth.
Pour cinnamon chip mixture over Chex cereal. Stir to coat cereal completely. I found that using my hands to gently toss with cereal was the best way to completely coat the cereal.
Mix the powdered sugar, sugar, and cinnamon in a gallon sized Ziplock bag. Add cinnamon coated Chex and toss.

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
The pops are so cute!! Love the colors you used to decorate them with.
Thanks! I just wanted something springy and fun.
Looks adorable!!
These look amazing! Great job. I don’t know if I’d have the patience 🙂
It really helped to break it out into steps. And the help from Hubby was big. If I had to do all 80 of them myself, I probably would have given up half way through…
Holy cow… 80 of them?! You’re a trooper!
Those turned out great though!
They’re SO cute! I love all the different sprinkles you used!
Those are just too cute…and tempting!
Those are incredible!!! great job!!!
Very pretty! I’ve seen those brownie molds. I’m waiting to grab one when I get one of those 40% off coupons.
Glad to hear your MIL had a wonderful party.

Very cute! These look great!
What a cute idea! I love all the bright colors!
Lovely job! Thank you for posting my link. I like your color combination and the flower pots for displaying the brownie pops. Very creative!!
Have you ever tried to freeze them after you dipped them in chocolate? I am thinking of making some for a wedding but wouldn’t have time to dip them on the day of the event.
Lisa, I have not done that for brownie pops before. But I have frozen cake balls which are also covered in chocolate. I would assume it would work just fine. You could always make a small batch to test it out. Definitely let me know how it goes!
