Place 9 cups Rice Chex cereal into a large bowl and set aside.
Combine 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, ½ cup creamy peanut butter, and ¼ cup butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds and stir until smooth.
Microwave for another 30 seconds, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until glossy.
Pour the mixture over the cereal and gently fold with a spatula until each piece is evenly coated.
Transfer the coated cereal into a large sealable plastic bag. Add 1½ cups powdered sugar, seal, and shake until fully dusted.
Spread the Puppy Chow onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let cool for 5–10 minutes to set.
Notes
Swap creamy peanut butter for almond or sunflower butter to cater to allergies.Ensure the mix is fully cool before sealing to prevent condensation and sogginess.
