🍒 Cherry Cheesecake Puppy Chow 🧀  

A Delightful Treat That Will Have the Whole Family Snacking with Glee!  



🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️  

- 8 cups rice square cereal (like Chex) 🥣  
- 1-pound container vanilla bark 🍥  
- 3.4-ounce cheesecake pudding mix 🍰  
- 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons powdered sugar ❄️  
- 3-ounce cherry gelatin mix 🍒  
- Optional red and pink sprinkles 🪸  



🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳  

1. Line a large baking sheet with foil to prepare for the cooling step.  
2. In a spacious zip-top bag, combine the cheesecake pudding mix, cherry gelatin mix, powdered sugar, and sprinkles (if using). Seal the bag tightly and give it a good shake to blend everything together. Set this mixture aside.  
3. Pour the rice square cereal into a large mixing bowl, ensuring even distribution.  
4. Place the vanilla bark in its tray and melt it in the microwave. Heat for 1 minute, stir thoroughly, then microwave for another minute until it’s fully melted and silky.  
5. Directly pour the melted vanilla bark over the cereal and gently stir until every piece is evenly coated.  
6. Transfer the coated cereal mix into the zip-top bag with the powdered sugar blend. Seal the bag and shake it vigorously to coat the cereal pieces uniformly.  
7. Spread the cereal mixture onto the foil-lined baking sheet, allowing it to cool and set perfectly.  
8. Once set, transfer the puppy chow into an airtight container. It will stay fresh and delicious for up to two weeks!

- To make the cleaning process easier, use parchment paper instead of foil!
