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!
