Place the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl.
¼ cup butter
Microwave for 40 seconds. The butter should be partially melted.
Add the chocolate chips and peanut butter. Stir in.
1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips, ⅔ cup creamy peanut butter
Return to microwave, and continue to microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring every 15 seconds, until chocolate is just melted.
Stir to completely combine.
Add vanilla, and stir in.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add half of the cereal to a large bowl.
9 cups Chex rice cereal
Pour half of the chocolate/peanut butter mixture over the cereal, and carefully toss to coat cereal.
Add remaining half cereal to bowl, and pour remaining half chocolate/peanut butter mixture over the top.
Carefully toss to coat the cereal.
Add powdered sugar to a large, resealable plastic bag.
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
Working in batches, add cereal, seal bag, and then gently shake to coat cereal in powdered sugar.
Let cool to room temperature before storing.

Chocolate chips: I use semisweet chocolate chips. You can use milk chocolate chips if you like sweeter puppy chow.
Peanut butter: I don't recommend natural peanut butter in this recipe.
Cereal: You can use corn Chex or a combination of corn and rice Chex.
