Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, add your Chex cereal and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl or stovetop, add the peanut butter with chocolate chips and heat until melted. Whisk together until combined and smooth.
Pour the chocolate/peanut butter mixture over the dry cereal mix. Mix well, until all the cereal is coated in the chocolate/peanut butter mixture.
Transfer the mixture onto a flat tray or surface and spread out in a single layer. Refrigerate for 15 minutes, until it has cooled slightly.
Remove from the fridge and place back in the mixing bowl. Add the powdered sugar and protein powder and mix very well, until all the cereal is covered in the sugar/protein powder.
Place back on the flat tray and let sit for 30-40 minutes, or until the powdered sugar has settled, before transferring to a sealable container or ziplock bag.

Notes

TO STORE: Store leftover puppy chow in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 weeks.

TO FREEZE: Put leftover puppy chow in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Make sure there is no moisture in the bag, or the cereal will become soft.
