This White Chocolate Matcha Puppy Chow is an easy and fun dessert recipe! Made with only 4 ingredients, its' a unique spin on on a classic! Plus it's naturally green, which makes it the perfect treat for St. Patrick's Day!
In a microwave-safe bowl or in a double boiler on the stovetop, melt white chocolate.
Add ½ of the rice cereal to a large mixing bowl with a lid.
Pour half of the melted white chocolate over the cereal.
Pour the remaining cereal and white chocolate into the mixing bowl and stir to combine.
Let cool to room temperature.
In a separate bowl, mix together powdered sugar and matcha powder.
Pour half of the powdered sugar/matcha mixture over the cooled white chocolate/cereal mixture. Cover the bowl with the lid and shake to combine.
Add more powdered sugar mixture until the cereal is evenly coated.
Sift a little bit of extra matcha powder on just before serving for a greener look!
Notes
*I used 1 TBS, if you are not used to the green tea flavor I suggest starting with ½ TBS and adding more if desired!
Ingredient Substitutions
White chocolate. Bars, chips or discs work well in this recipe. Just be sure to use 10 oz. But do not use "white baking chips." Buy real white chocolate that contains ingredients like cocoa butter, sugar and vanilla. Read the ingredients and be aware!
Powdered sugar. I use regular powdered sugar here. You can make your own (follow this method) from your favorite unrefined sugar. If you use a darker sweetener like coconut sugar your end result will look brown and not pretty & light green!
Rice Squares Cereal. I use Chex (or generic equivalent). Crispex also works really well!
