Lazy Girl’s Guide: Cake Batter Snack Mix Recipe
One of my favorite things is cake batter… it’s a tough road between the mixing bowl and the oven in my house. I don’t care if it’s sketchy to eat raw eggs… I’ll take the risk!
That being said… any time I see a recipe with a “Cake Batter” flavored tag line, I’m skeptical. Does it really taste authentic, DOES IT!? More often than not, it doesn’t live up to my expectations. However… I recently stumbled upon a “Cupcake Puppy Chow” recipe on Sally’s Baking Addiction.
The term “Puppy Chow” kind of makes me uncomfortable, so as I was simplifying the recipe a bit, I thought I should rename it “Snack Mix”. It’s just more approachable!
RECIPE
– 4.5 cups Rice Chex cereal (gluten-free woohoo!)
– 1/4 cup salted butter
– 3 Tablespoons heavy cream
– 10 oz white white chocolate chips
– 2/3 cup rainbow sprinkles
– 1 and 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Step One: Put the Chex Cereal in a large bowl and set aside. In a saucepan (or microwave safe bowl), combine butter, cream & chocolate chips.
Step Two: If you’re using a microwave, blast for 30 seconds at a time and stir in between. If you’re using a stove, heat the mixture over medium heat until melted.
Step Three: Pour the mixture over the Chex and stir carefully (you don’t want to break the cereal. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes.
Step Four: You don’t want to add the sprinkles until the chocolate has cooled a bit or you’ll get a big runny colored mess. Slowly mix the sprinkles in (but don’t over mix).
Step Five: Pour the chocolate coated cereal into a large zip lock bag. Sprinkle the powdered sugar on top. Seal the bag and SHAKE!
I recommend eating within 2-3 days or it looses the crunch factor.
