Place the chex cereal in a large bowl. Or divide into 2 bowls for easier mixing. Set aside.
10-11 cups chex cereal
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter, white chocolate chips and oil. Stir occasionally until the chocolate mixture is melted and smooth.
3/4 cup (201g) creamy peanut butter, 2 cups (340g) white chocolate chips, 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
Before pouring the chocolate over the chex, reserve about 3 tbsp for drizzling on top of the puppy chow - I like to put this into a squeeze bottle. Pour the remaining chocolate mixture on top of the chex and gently mix to evenly coat the cereal.
Quickly transfer the chocolate covered cereal to a large gallon sized ziploc bag or large brown paper bag. Add in 1 cup of powdered sugar, seal and shake well until the cereal is coated. If the cereal is not completely coated, add another 1/2 cup powdered sugar and shake again. If using a ziplock bag, you'll have to coat the cereal with powdered sugar in batches.
2 1/2 cups (283g) powdered sugar
Pour the cereal onto a large baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining white chocolate on top of the cereal and then add the gold sprinkles and edible gold stars. I like to work in small sections when drizzling the chocolate so it doesn’t harden before I add the sprinkles.
gold sanding sugar, edible gold star sprinkles, large star sprinkles
Allow the puppy chow to set on the pan for 15 minutes. Place the puppy chow in a bowl and add additional gold stars.
