Tips for the BEST Sugar Cookie Puppy Chow

I used almond bark to give this sugar cookie puppy chow that “sugar cookie” flavor. But if you don’t want to use almond bark, you can use white chocolate baking bars. Just do NOT use white chocolate chips!
I like to usenonpareil sprinklesbecause they mix into the cereal a lot easier than “normal” rainbow sprinkles. With that being said, still be careful when folding the sprinkles into the puppy chow mixture because you don’t want the colors from the sprinklesto run.
I highly recommend making this puppy chow the same day you are planning on enjoying it. The longer it sits, the less crunchy the puppy chow is, so I like to make it the day of or the night before for the freshest results!

BAKING TOOLS NEEDED

MIXING BOWLS: I love these mixing bowls! They’re extremely durable and the colors are so much fun!
SPATULA: Everyone needs a good quality spatula in their kitchen, and this one is my absolute favorite.
SERVING BOWLS: I love these super cute serving bowls! After all, with a treat this cute, you need to serve it with a little flair.

So many sprinkles, so little time! If you love colorful treats half as much as I do, you need to also make No-Bake Cake Batter Truffles, Funfetti French Toast Muffins, and some truly wonderful Sugar Cookie Dip.You’ll be feeling like a real unicorn in no time!
