This cereal-based snack is always a hit, especially since the delicious dusting on our power-packed version has the added bonus of a pop of protein. Snack to it!

Preparation

Place Chex cereal in a large work bowl and set aside.

Heat peanut butter in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-low heat, then add chocolate chips and whisk together until smooth and well-combined. Pour the mixture over the cereal and gently toss until cereal is well-coated.

In a small work bowl, add the powdered sugar and protein powder and mix well, then add to the cereal mixture and gently toss until cereal is evenly coated.

Place mixture on a cookie sheet and let rest for 25–30 minutes before serving or storing. Extra puppy chow can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 weeks.
