No-Bake Orange Creamsicle Puppy Chow [0000896]

Ingredients:

6 cups gluten-free rice cereal squares (like Chex)
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips (make sure they're gluten-free)
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon orange extract or orange flavoring (make sure it's gluten-free)
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon orange zest (from 1-2 oranges)
1 cup orange Creamsicle-flavored candy melts (make sure they're gluten-free)
Orange and white sprinkles for decoration (optional)
Cooking spray for greasing a large mixing bowl

Instructions:

Place the gluten-free rice cereal squares in a large mixing bowl and set aside.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and unsalted butter.

Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until the chocolate and butter are fully melted and smooth.

Stir in the gluten-free orange extract or flavoring until well combined.

Pour the melted white chocolate mixture over the gluten-free rice cereal squares and gently stir to coat them evenly.

In a large zip-top bag, add the powdered sugar and orange zest.

Transfer the coated cereal squares into the zip-top bag.

Seal the bag and shake it vigorously to coat the squares evenly with the powdered sugar mixture.

Spread the coated cereal squares on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet to cool and set.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the orange Creamsicle-flavored candy melts according to the package instructions.

Drizzle the melted candy melts over the cooled and set cereal squares.

If desired, add orange and white sprinkles for decoration.

Allow the Puppy Chow to cool and set for about 30 minutes or until the candy melts harden.

Once set, break the mixture into pieces and serve.

Enjoy your gluten-free No-Bake Orange Creamsicle Puppy Chow, a sweet and citrusy snack!
