Pumpkin Pie Puppy Chow

Yes, I made something pumpkin flavored in May! No, it's not illegal. Even if it were, I'd still make this.. only if I could take a bag of this with me to jail. I may be exaggerating a smidge... Anyway, all the chocolate/peanut butter combo haters (they DO exist ;-) ) out there can now enjoy puppy chow!

-1/2 c. Spice Cake Mix (just the dry mix)
-1/3. c. powdered sugar
-2 t. pumpkin pie spice
-2 c. Crispex cereal
-1 c. white chocolate chips
-1 T. Canola Oil
Shake cake mix, powdered sugar, and pumpkin pie spice together in a large ziploc bag to make the coating. In a microwave safe bowl, stir white chocolate chips and oil together until the chips are coated. Microwave for 45 seconds. Stir. Melt another 15 seconds, if needed. Pour cereal into bowl. Stir to coat cereal in chocolate. Dump cereal into bag of coating. Shake to coat the cereal. You can eat it right away, but the longer it sits, the stronger pumpkin flavor it will have! SO pretty much what I'm saying is, eat it whenever you want :-)

    I can NOT tell you how happy I am to see this, Mrs. Baker! : ) It looks better than, dare I say, CHOCOLATE CAKE! You have a wonderful blog--I'm so impressed! Keep the calories coming!

    I am wondering why you use oil in this recipe? Thanks!

      The oil just makes the white chocolate chips a little creamier when they melt. That just makes it easier to coat the cereal. You probably don't have to add the oil if ya don't want. The chips may just set up a little quicker.

    That makes sense. One more question. Your recipe calls for white baking chips. I have a couple bars of Ghirardelli white choclate baking bars in my pantry. Could I use those instead? Thanks!!!!
