Instructions

• Place 3 oz semi-sweet chocolate, 1/4 cup natural peanut butter, 1/4 cup honey, and 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
• Stir 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture until evenly combined.
• Add 4 1/2 cups Honey Nut Chex cereal to the bowl. Gently fold the cereal into the chocolate mixture with a spoon or spatula until each piece is evenly coated.
• Put 2/3 cup vanilla protein powder into a large zip-top bag. Scoop the coated cereal into the bag (work quickly while the coating is still wet). Seal the bag, press out excess air, and shake until the protein powder evenly coats the cereal. If the bag is too full, divide the cereal and powder and work in batches.
• Pour the coated cereal back into the large bowl (or onto a tray) and spread it out so it can cool and the coating can set. Let it sit until the coating is no longer warm.
• Once cooled, store the puppy chow in an airtight container at room temperature.
