Step 2
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and unsalted butter.
Step 3
Microwave the mixture on high in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted (this should take about 1.5 to 2 minutes).

Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the crispy rice cereal in the large bowl.
Step 6
Gently fold the mixture with a large spatula until all the cereal is evenly coated.
Step 7
Transfer the coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag or a large container with a lid.
Step 8
Add the powdered sugar to the bag or container, seal it tightly, and shake vigorously until each piece of cereal is fully coated in powdered sugar.
Step 9
Spread the finished snack mix onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool and set for about 10 minutes.
Step 10
Once cooled, transfer the Puppy Chow to a serving dish or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
