Mix 1/2 cup (58g) peanut butter powder with 1/3 cup (76g) water in a small bowl. It should result in a very thick peanut butter.
Put 1 cup (146g) milk chocolate chips into a large microwave safe bowl and melt in the microwave in 30 second increments until melted. Stir in-between rounds. It takes me 4 rounds for the chocolate to melt.
Combine the peanut butter and chocolate chips in the large bowl. Then, carefully add the 4.5 cups Chex and stir gently until the cereal is fully coated.
Pour the coated Chex into a large ziplock bag. Then, add the 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar and 1/2 cup (58g) peanut butter powder. Shake the bag until the cereal is fully coated.
IMPORTANT: Pour the puppy chow onto a sheet tray and put it in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. This step ensures the cereal remains crispy and doesn't get soggy. Once it's at room temperature, it starts to soften quickly, so it's best kept in the freezer, NOT in an airtight container.
