one box of Crispix cereal (approx. 12 cups)

one 12 oz. bag of chocolate chips

1/2 c. peanut butter

1 c. powdered sugar

Directions:
Use an Enormous kettle!

Over low heat, melt chocolate chips and combine with peanut butter.

Remove from heat; stir in cereal. Gently stir to thoroughly coat the cereal.

Dust mixture with the powdered sugar, and continue stirring to thoroughly coat the cereal.

Cool, and place in a container. Keep in a cool place.

Other suggestions and comments:
I have also used the microwave to melt and combine the chocolate and peanut butter, then poured that over the cereal, in a Very Large mixing bowl.

We made several batches of this for a Christmas bake sale, and marketed it as Reindeer Chow, in holiday-decorated zip bags. It has that kibble-like appearance...which is probably why we had Leftovers. Their Loss, I tell ya!!! It's good stuff! Addictive, too. The jr. high boys who bought some of it were Very happy with their purchase, and my husband and kids polished off quite a bit of this.

"Puppy Chow" is a very common nickname for this stuff, too.

I've also had the Butterscotch version. Hard to say which I like best.

Don't feed it to your Puppy, though. Dogs luv chocolate, but it does Not luv them back!
