Puppy Chow

Ingredients:

• 10 cups corn Chex cereal
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
• ¼ cup butter
• 1 ½ cups powdered sugar, divided in half
• 2 gallon-sized Ziploc bags

Directions:

1. Pour cereal into very large mixing bowl, and set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine chocolate, peanut butter, and butter. Heat the mixture, stirring constantly with a heatproof spoon or spatula, until entirely melted and combined.
3. Pour melted chocolate mixture over cereal in the large mixing bowl, and mix with a rubber spatula until all the cereal is coated with the chocolate mixture. Divide the cereal into two gallon-sized ziploc bags, and add half the powdered sugar to each. Seal the bags, and shake the mixtures until the powdered sugar evenly coats the cereal.
4. Open the bags and let the puppy chow cool completely, then transfer to gift jars. It will keep for up to a week in an airtight container at room temperature.
