Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
- If you don't have unsweetened cocoa powder, you can use regular cocoa powder and omit the powdered sugar.
- Be careful not to overcook the chocolate mixture, or it will become too thick and difficult to coat the Chex cereal.
- Let the chocolate-coated Chex cereal cool completely before adding the powdered sugar, or it will clump together.
- Store the puppy chow in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
