White Chocolate Matcha Puppy Chow: Substitutions

Let’s chat about the 4 ingredients in this recipe!

• 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.” Buyreal 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!
• Matcha Green Tea Powder. This is the variety

How to make White Chocolate Matcha Puppy Chow

This recipe isso simple to make, but I thought I’d share a few tips to ensure you have great matcha success!

First and foremost, take great care not to use too much cereal! You want a nice white chocolate coating on every square!

Mix the powders first.

To ensure that the matcha and powdered sugar are evenly distributed in the puppy chow, be sure to mix them thoroughly before adding them to the white-chocolate-coated cereal! Start with 1/2 TBS of matcha powder and increase to your liking. Save a little to sprinkle over the top for presentation!

Chill

I have two other puppy chow recipes on this site (because it’s the best), which also emphasize the importance of letting the white chocolate coating cool off a bit before adding the powdered sugar/matcha mixture. If you don’t, the powdered sugar will simply soak into the chocolate instead of doing its job of separating and coating the cereal pieces.

Another note on chilling: white chocolate cools of faster than the dark chocolate/peanut butter mixture used in traditional puppy chow, so watch it carefully. If it hardens too much it will be difficult to mix! I recommend using a bowl with a lid so you can shake the cereal and powdered sugar together easily.

Store/freeze

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
