Human Puppy Chow Recipe

From NetCooks.com, one of many recipes for "Puppy Chow" available on the Internets. This snack, which has eluded me until now, is apparently a well-known treat for enjoying in front of the television, or hey, any time! The proportions vary according to the various online recipes, but the ingredients remain the same: a concoction of Chex or Crispix cereal, microwaved with chocolate and peanut butter and coated with powdered sugar. Looks just like Puppy Chow, tastes, apparently, like heaven. I am so serving this at my next swanky party.
Puppy Chow
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup butter
8 cups Chex or Crispix Cereal
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Melt peanut butter, chocolate chips, and butter together in a large bowl in microwave.
Pour over cereal in another large baking bowl and stir very well.
Pour the cereal in a large Ziploc or Glad bag and add the powdered sugar. Close bag tightly and shake until evenly coated with powdered sugar.
Best if refrigerated.
Take out and enjoy!

My favorite part of this recipe is the serving information at the bottom of the page. "Serves: 1-20"
