Since fall is my most favorite time of year, what better than a yummy Pumpkin Pie Puppy Chow recipe!!!

Okay, on to this pumpkin pie flavored delicious-ness!! Stop licking your screen, and just go get the stuff and make this. Like now. YES!! Right now!! Make it now, and you can thank me later. The printable recipe is down below, just scroll down. Print it off and stick it back in your recipe box!

 

Pumpkin Pie Puppy Chow Ingredients:
8 cup Chex Cereal
12 oz Pumpkin Spice Candy Melts or White Candy Melts (Wilton or store brand)
*candy melts melt SO much easier than the chips or blocks 
2 cup Powdered Sugar
3 tsp Pumpkin Spice
1 cup Fall Color M&M’s or other Fall favorite candy

 

 

 

DIRECTIONS
Melt candy melts by microwaving 30 seconds then stirring and repeating until melted. Stir in the 3 tsp. of pumpkin spice to the melted candy melts mixture.

Next comes the fun part. Pour cereal into a large mixing bowl or onto a large tray. Pour the melted candy melts over the cereal and using a spatula or spoon, gently fold and combine the mixture into the cereal until it’s thoroughly covered.

Put half of the powdered sugar mixture into 1 gallon size ziploc bag, and the rest in a 2nd gallon size ziploc bag.

Spoon half the cereal mixture into each bag, and shake shake shake shake shake!!! Shake until all of the cereal is coated in white sugary goodness. If there are any pieces that are clumped together, try to separate and then shake some more. Do the same thing with the 2nd bag.

After the cereal is all coated, pour in a single layer onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper. Allow to dry and then add M&M’s before putting in airtight containers or your serving bowls.
