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.

    oh my…i’ve tried my hand at these and just about every oreo ended up cracking when i tried to insert the stick. *frowny face* not even dipping the sticks first seemed to help? do you have any suggestions on how to slide them in without any hiccups. *wink*
    thank you SO much for your help…yours came out adorable!

    I am loving all of these new parents/new baby posts, because friends of ours just had a baby boy last week and I can just do everything you’re doing! 🙂

    Jess@pen – are you using Double Stuffed Oreos? If you’re using regular Oreos, maybe the center isn’t thick enough to support the lollipop stick between the cookie ends. Or maybe the lollipop stick isn’t thin enough (do they even make different sizes?). Just thinking out loud. Good luck. 🙂

    jen@pen – I agree with Sarah, be sure to use double stuff Oreos and thin sticks. You’ll notice that the craft store has at least two thicknesses of sticks. You want the thinnest ones. I did slide the sticks in slowly but didn’t have any issues with breaking cookies.

    How far ahead can you make these and will the Oreo get soggy ?

    • beantownbaker — February 23rd, 2014 @ 8:45 pm

      We made them a week in advance and the Oreos did not get soggy.

    I can totally see the hiccups @jess, the Double Stuf Oreos have a far more thin and brittle cookie than the original Oreos. They crumble, split and crack very easily, I would imagine irregardless of stuffing volume, the structural integrity of the original Oreo cookie would hold up better for this project.
