Instructions

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Place the Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently stir to coat evenly.
Transfer the coated cereal to a large zip-top bag or a container with a lid. Add the powdered sugar, seal, and shake until all the cereal is well coated.
Spread the Puppy Chow onto a baking sheet or parchment paper to cool and set.

Once fully cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Notes

For extra crunch, mix in some M&M’s or pretzels.
Try using white chocolate instead of semisweet for a fun variation.

Store in the refrigerator for a chilled treat.
