Ingredients In This Puppy Chow Recipe

This recipe may seem like a lot of ingredients, but they all come together to create the perfect balance of sweet and salty. Here's what you'll need to make it:

• Rice Chex: As the base for the puppy chow, this cereal provides a light and crunchy base for the bark. You'll need 3 big cups.
• Lucky Charms: The star of this recipe, the colorful marshmallows add a burst of sweetness and fun to each bite.
• Pretzel sticks: Adding a touch of saltiness, these pretzels also provide an added crunch to the bark. Be sure to crush them slightly for easier eating! Use gluten-free pretzels if needed.
• Salted peanuts: Adding another layer of saltiness, protein, and crunch, these peanuts are a classic addition to puppy chow recipes. If you have a nut allergy, feel free to omit them or substitute them with another type of nut.
• White chocolate chips: The key ingredient in this bark, white chocolate, provides the sweet coating that holds everything together. Use high-quality chips for the best results. You'll need about 20 ounces or 3 cups.
• Green M&Ms: These little chocolate candies are perfect for adding more color and texture to the bark. Plus, who doesn't love a pop of chocolate in their treat? You'll need about 3 cups, but feel free to use more or less to your liking.
• Coconut oil: Just a small amount of coconut oil is needed to help thin out the white chocolate for easier coating. You can also use butter if you don't have any on hand.
