Chocolate Biscoff Puppy Chow with Banana Chips

It’s been a while since I made Puppy Chow (not for dogs!!). Remember that stuff? It’s malted cereal smothered with things like chocolate and peanut butter (see below), plus lots of icing sugar.Very snackable and very dangerous.

I was recently sent some Lotus Biscoff spread to ‘try’ as it is now available in all good supermarkets.
But I have adored this stuff for over a year now. It’s also called speculoos (more on the continent) or cookie butter (in the US) but in the UK it’s is being marketed as Biscoff. If you don’t know what it is, it’s those little spicy biscuits, cinnamony and lovely, made into a spreadable paste.
I have made blondies with it, a frosting for cupcakes, cakey doughnuts and used it’s former name of Speculoos. But as of now, I am officially calling it Biscoff – much nicer sounding really.

Biscoff comes in a smooth paste or a crunchy one. I personally prefer the crunchy one for spreading on toast or crumpets. And I like to use the smooth one in recipes.
When I was sent the spread I also received a couple of mini packs of the Biscoff biscuits which are coated on one side with chocolate. A great pairing. So I immediately thought it would be great as an ingredient in Puppy Chow (not for dogs!!). But the cereal on it's own didn’t cut it for me. What could I add to the mix?
How about little banana chips? I found small chewy ones in the supermarket (you didn't think I was going to make my own did you?) which I mixed through the cereal and the combination was lovely!

Here’s how easy it is to make;
