Have you seen the previews for Norm of The North movie yet? Every single time it comes on my kids get worked up into a dance frenzy- dancing along with Norm and begging me to take them to see it as soon as it comes out in theaters. This family friendly film will be released on January 15th, 2016 – of course we are going to see it, I am just excited to see it as they are – it just looks so cute! Special thanks to SocialMoms and Norm of The North Blogging Program for making this Norm of the North Movie Vanilla Puppy Chow Mix recipe post possible!
Norm is a polar bear who travels to New York with several furry lemmings as sidekicks in tow to try and stop a developer from putting up luxury condos in his beautiful home – the Arctic. Norm tackles the Big Apple, Big Business, and saves the day as any courageous hero would. As you can see from the preview Norm is also quite the dancer – he really likes to shake, shake, shake it.
In honor of the release of Norm of The North I created this delicious movie-inspired Vanilla Puppy Chow Mix to enjoy with the kids. They even get the chance to shake a little on their own just like Norm as they create this easy and tasty recipe with a little help from you. We had a fun little pre release party with this delicious snack and a little playtime with some arctic friends.
Norm of the North Movie {Inspired} Vanilla Puppy Chow Mix
Ingredients:
4 ½ cups rice Chex cereal
8 oz. white chocolate
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract (If you want a true white color, use the clear Wilton vanilla extract)
Directions:
Melt chocolate in a double boiler or in microwave in 30 second increments, stirring each time until fully melted.
Stir in vanilla extract.
Place cereal in a large bowl.
Pour melted white chocolate over cereal and stir well to coat.
Place powdered sugar into bag then scoop in cereal mixture- let your kids shake, shake, shake it just like Norm does in the movie to cover completely. The bonus of this is that the kids get some of their sillies out!
Store in an airtight container for 2-3 days.

Haven’t yet figured out how to use Instagram on my iPad mini. Don’t have a smartphone. Want to enter their contest. At least I have 2 weeks to figure it out.
