Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups Chex cereal rice or corn
  • 1 3.4 oz package pistachio pudding mix (instant)
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Cereal: In a large mixing bowl, set aside the Chex cereal.
  • Melt the White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each one, until melted and smooth.
  • Mix the Pistachio Pudding: With the melted white chocolate, stir the pistachio pudding mix until completely blended and smooth.

  • Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, serve the pistachio puppy chow in a bowl or store it in an airtight container for later snacking!

Notes

If you'd like a more intense pistachio flavor, consider adding crushed pistachios as a topping.
Store your Pistachio Puppy Chow in an airtight container for up to a week for optimal freshness.
For a fun variation, add a pinch of sea salt for a sweet-salty twist.
