Notes

Using fresh Chex cereal and good-quality chocolate chips really boosts the flavor.
Make sure the cereal is fully coated with the chocolate and peanut butter mix so every bite is packed with flavor.
Giving the puppy chow some time to firm up on the cookie sheet makes it easier to handle and way less messt to eat.
