Ingredients
- 9 cups rice cereal squares (such as Chex)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter

Directions
Step 1
Begin by placing the rice cereal squares in a large bowl. Set aside.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and unsalted butter.
Step 3
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute, then stir until smooth. If not completely melted, continue to microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and combined.
Step 4
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the cereal squares, stirring until all the cereal is evenly coated.
Step 6
Transfer the coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag, then add the powdered sugar.
Step 7
Seal the bag and shake vigorously until all the cereal is well-coated with powdered sugar.
Step 8
Spread the finished puppy chow onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper to cool and set, about 15 minutes.
Step 9
Once cooled, store in an airtight container for up to one week or serve immediately.
