Very yummy. I used Life ceral as here they dont seel Chex. -just a funny note I put it in a ziplock bag I had used and washed previously. Well apparently there was a hole in it and when I gave it a big squish a whole bunch of chocolate squished out as well all over my hads! So make sure the bag has no holes! lol

Puppy Chow, as we've always called it, is highly addictive. I've always found the adults eat way more than the kiddos! This was copied straight from the Chex website with one important omission: "Pour mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated. Pour into 2-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag." For anyone just starting out in the kitchen, the directions as currently posted could be confusing since they do not detail what to do with the cereal.

This is stuff us great! However, we always have called it puppy chow (I didn't check to see if this is in zaar or not , under puupy chow that is ) I have also used Kix because those little round balls are easier to coat than the chex. I imagine you could use cheerios too if you wanted.
