Ingredients
4 1/2 cups rice chex cereal
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup Nutellav
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup powdered sugar


Instructions
=== '''Ingredients''' ===
Add the peanut butter, butter and Nutella into a microwave-safe container. Microwave on high for 30 seconds and stir to combine. Put the mixture in for another 15-30 seconds if it's not fully melted together yet, but be careful not to overheat and burn it. When it's melted, add the vanilla in and stir.
*6-7cups rice chex cereal
Pour the mixture over the chex cereal and stir until all the pieces are evenly coated. Put the powered sugar into a large ziplock bag, add the chocolate covered chex, seal the bag and shake until all the pieces are coated in powdered sugar.
*1 cup peanut butter
Lay the pieces out to cool, and either serve or store in an airtight container.
*1 teaspoon vanilla
*1-2 cup powdered sugar
*1 cup semisweet or dark chocolate chips


=== '''Instructions''' ===
#Melt peanut butter and chocolate together, either on the stovetop or in the microwave.
#Next, add 3 cups of cereal to a large bowl. Pour 1 cup of your chocolate/peanut butter mixture over the cereal.
#Add 3 more cups of cereal to the bowl and then pour the rest of the chocolate/peanut butter mixture on top.
#Stir until the cereal is evenly coated. If there are pools of chocolate/peanut butter at the bottom of your bowl, add more cereal ¼ cup at a time until all that deliciousness is coating your cereal. Remember we WANT clumps, so do NOT add too much cereal!
#Let the mixture cool slightly (I throw mine in the fridge or outside on my porch if it's cold out). You do not want it to harden!
#Once your mixture is at or below room temperature, add 1 cup of powdered sugar. Mix until combined.
#Let cool for about 15 minutes.
#Add more powdered sugar ¼ cup at a time until your cereal is coated to your satisfaction.
#Store in an airtight container at room temperature, if it lasts more than 0.3 seconds.

'''Ingredient Substitutions'''
*Chocolate. I recommend using a dark or semi-sweet variety. In my opinion, making this Puppy Chow Recipe with milk chocolate makes it too sweet. But if you have a serious sweet tooth by all means use whatever chocolate you prefer! If you need an allergy-friendly chocolate both Sunspire and Enjoy Life Foods make great options!
*Rice Cereal. Chex is my favorite cereal to use (or a generic equivalent)! However many people love Crispex!
*Peanut Butter. You can substitute any nut or seed butter if you're allergic to peanuts!
*Powdered sugar. There's really no substitute for this. You could make your own refined sugar free variety but it will NOT be white. So if you're OK with that then go for it! 😉
'''Chilling'''
*Just a note that chilling the cereal/peanut butter/chocolate mixture before adding any powdered sugar is critical to making sure you have delicious clumpy, not overly sweet, puppy chow!
