Ingredients

Matcha Puppy Chow

1 cup (170 g) couverture white chocolate chips
¼ teaspoon salt
4 ½ teaspoon (10 g) matcha powder
4 cup Chex rice cereal

Powdered Sugar Dusting

1 cup (210 g) powdered sugar
2 teaspoon matcha powder

Instructions

Melt the white chocolate. Using a double boiler method, in a heatproof bowl add the salt and white chocolate. Place over a pot filled with water making sure the bowl doesn't touch the bowl. Heat on the stove on a low gentle heat and stir until the chocolate melts.
Sift in the matcha powder. Using a fine-mesh sieve, sift in the matcha powder to remove any clumps and mix with a spatula until smooth.
Mix the melted matcha chocolate. In a large mixing bowl, add the chex cereal. Then working in 3 batches, pour in the matcha chocolate, and gently fold with a rubber spatula until the chex is evenly coated. Set aside to cool slightly to room temperature.
Whisk together the powdered sugar and matcha powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and matcha powder until combined.
Toss with powdered sugar. When the chex has reached room temperature, pour in the powdered sugar mix and matcha-covered chex in a large gallon ziplock bag. Seal and shake the bag until the chex is evenly coated with the powdered sugar. Add additional powdered sugar if necessary to coat the chex.
Chill and serve. Pour the mixture onto a large parchment-lined cookie sheet and refrigerate uncovered for 15-30 minutes, or until dried. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Use a trusted Matcha powder. Since matcha is the star of this dish, make sure to use a high-quality matcha powder for the best results. There are tons of matcha powders out there and some are made with lower quality than others. I've used brands such as Matchabar, Junbi, and Matcha Bloom and they all have high-quality grade matcha.
Use Callebaut White Chocolate melting chips. Callebaut white chocolate chips are the only white chocolate chips I ever use for my recipes. The white chocolate is rich, it's creamy, and it melts so easily.
Evenly coat the chex with powdered sugar to prevent it from melting. The powdered sugar protects the chex from melting into one large blob so use enough powdered sugar to evenly coat each cereal square.
Storage Instructions. This puppy chow recipe can be stored in an airtight container on the counter or in the refrigerator (if you have a warm environment) for up to 1 week.
