White Chocolate Peppermint Puppy Chow


I’ve wanted to do a baking blog for several years. For some reason or another, I never fulfilled this dream. I figure with Christmas right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to get started and share my baking explorations. My first treat will be a puppy chow I discovered via Pinterest. Thank you {sally's baking addiction}

Puppy Chow

To make everything easier, I like to start by prepping everything. That way, once I start the recipe, it comes together quickly. 

The best place to start is by crushing candy canes. Get wax paper, put your candy canes in the center and wrap up, so the crushed canes won't escape. Bang with a rolling pin.

Next melt your white chocolate using your microwave's 60 percent power feature. Then add the chocolate to your chex mix and then add your crushed canes.

Then transfer the mixture to a Ziploc bag with powdered sugar. Shake and enjoy!!!
