Puppy Chow

It's two weeks until Christmas - and it's not Christmas time until you've had puppy chow, wonderful, heavenly, messing, puppy chow!  This recipe is adapted from the chex box Muddy Buddies, I use more to coat the cereal to make it full of MORE chocolate, MORE peanut butter, and MORE sugar, the best parts :)  I give this as gifts every year and usually have a list of requests to fill before Christmas arrives.  This recipe is definitely a hit here in the great state of Oklahoma.  Hope you enjoy!
