Preparation
Step 1
Place the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter in a medium microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir. Put the bowl back into the microwave and heat for an additional 30 seconds or until mixture is smooth when stirred. Add the vanilla extract and stir again.
Step 2
Pour the cereal in a large mixing bowl. Add the chocolate peanut butter mixture and gently stir until cereal is evenly coated. Pour the coated cereal into a large Ziploc bag. Add the powdered sugar. Seal the bag and shake until the cereal is well coated. Spread on parchment paper or waxed paper. Let sit until cool and chocolate is set.
Step 3
Store the puppy chow in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. If it is warm in your kitchen, store the puppy chow in the refrigerator.

Chef's notes
Use Rice Chex for the classic puppy chow texture, but Corn Chex or Crispix can also be used.
Semi-sweet chocolate chips are recommended, but dark chocolate or milk chocolate can be substituted based on personal preference.
For a peanut-free version, substitute peanut butter with cashew butter, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter.
