Description

Samoas Puppy Chow is a decadent and fun snack mix that combines the rich flavors of chocolate, caramel, coconut, and the iconic Samoas cookies. Perfect for parties or a sweet treat, this recipe coats chocolate Chex cereal in a creamy chocolate and caramel mixture, sprinkled with powdered sugar and topped with crunchy bits of Samoas cookies.

Ingredients

Chocolate Mixture

  • 1/2 cup chocolate spread
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce

Snack Mix

  • 2 cups shredded coconut
  • 8 cups Chocolate Chex Cereal
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 box Samoas cookies (approximately 12-15 cookies)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chocolate mixture: Combine the chocolate spread, butter, milk chocolate chips, and milk in a medium microwavable bowl. Microwave this mixture for 1 minute. After microwaving, stir thoroughly until the ingredients are melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then add the caramel sauce and stir until fully combined.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the Chocolate Chex cereal and shredded coconut evenly, ensuring the coconut is well distributed throughout the cereal.
  3. Coat the cereal: Pour the melted chocolate and caramel mixture over the cereal and coconut blend. Using a spatula, gently toss the mixture to coat the cereal completely. Be careful to stir slowly and gently to prevent crushing the cereal pieces.
  4. Add the powdered sugar: Sprinkle powdered sugar evenly over the coated cereal mix. Using the spatula once more, carefully mix the powdered sugar into the cereal to ensure an even coating all around.
  5. Incorporate the Samoas cookies: Cut the Samoas cookies into tiny bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle these cookie bits into the puppy chow mixture, folding them in gently to distribute throughout the snack mix.
  6. Set and serve: Allow the coated mixture to rest for a few minutes so that the chocolate can set slightly, binding everything together. Once set, the Samoas Puppy Chow is ready to be enjoyed!

Notes

  • To prevent crushing the cereal while mixing, fold gently with a spatula rather than stirring vigorously.
  • The recipe can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for maximum freshness.
  • Feel free to substitute regular chocolate chips if milk chocolate chips are unavailable.
  • To make this recipe nut-free, ensure the caramel sauce and chocolate spread used are free of nut traces.
