Puppy Chow with Cranberries and Bliss

This winter festive taste burst includes dried cranberries (affiliate link), white chocolate, crystallized ginger, and orange flavors. It’s addictive and simple to eat by the handful; name it puppy chow, muddy pals, anything you like because it’s great!

I have a minor cranberry bliss obsession: cranberry bliss bars, cranberry bliss fudge, cranberry bliss cupcakes, and cranberry bliss pinwheels. It’s just around the holidays that I need to jam all of the cranberry blissy sweetness into two months. I have no objections.

WELL, I SAID I DON’T HAVE A PROBLEM.

This is by far the simplest recipe I have on the net for recreating the taste of Starbucks’ renowned Christmas dessert. You simply need 20 minutes before you leap in and consume it all on purpose.

P.S. Since I make so many cranberry dishes over the holidays, I find it worthwhile to purchase dried cranberries in bulk (affiliate link). The same can be said for white chocolate, with Ghirardelli white chocolate chips being my particular favorite (aff link). I really suggest it.

How this is different from traditional puppy chow

Unlike typical puppy chow, there is neither peanut butter or chocolate present; instead, the Chex mix pieces are covered in white chocolate before being dusted with powdered sugar.

Nevertheless, orange essence and crushed cinnamon are added to the white chocolate to guarantee that it adheres to every piece.

You’ll need the largest bowl you can locate, since it becomes more difficult as you add ingredients. If you watch the video in this article, you will observe that I clearly need a larger boat. I’m talking about the bowl.

Maybe I should put it on the wedding register. In fact, according to my phone’s countdown calendar, we only have 91 days till the wedding. Sweetbabyjesus, it’s getting close.

But guess what? I’m not worried about it at all. There is no anxiety, no tension, and no anxieties. I’m really happy because we’re going to treat this like a huge party with all of our favorite folks.

Bring this to the next party on your schedule and see how soon you become everyone’s best buddy.

Warning: You will be requested to bring this to every party you attend from now on. It’s a delectable weight to bear.
