Use Rice Chex or Corn Chex for puppy chow; those are the standard choices because they’re light, crisp, and hold the coating well.
Best Chex options
- Rice Chex is most commonly recommended since its neutral flavor lets the chocolate–peanut butter coating stand out and it stays nice and crunchy.
- Corn Chex also works well and is often suggested as an equally good alternative if you prefer a slightly different flavor.
- Some recipes use Crispix instead of Chex, but wheat Chex is usually not advised because it is denser and less airy, so it does not give the same classic texture.
