Puppy Chow is Chex mix coated with melted peanut butter and chocolate and then doused in powdered sugar. Step one of this very complicated recipe, put the cereal in a big bowl. Combine the chocolate and the peanut butter. You can do the melting of the chocolate and peanut butter either on the stove or in the microwave. Now’s the time to add a little vanilla. So now, the chocolate is going over the cereal. It’s going on a sheet pan. Nudge it around in an even layer. Sprinkle a little sugar, a little salt. Stir to combine, and keep repeating this, until you’ve used all the sugar. Come on, look how good that is.
