Gently Combine
To make the Peanut Butter Chocolate Puppy Chow, carefully place the rice cereal in a large bowl. The rice cereal breaks easily, so be very gentle when handling at each stage.
In a medium bowl, place 3/4 of a cup of both the peanut butter baking chips and the dark chocolate chips in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time. Stirring in between until the chips are fully melted. For even more peanut butter taste, add ½ cup of peanut butter to the melted chocolate, stirring until smooth.

Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal and gently mix together with a spatula, taking care not to break apart the cereal.
In a large zip bag, add the confectioners' sugar and unsweetened cocoa (it will mix together). Spoon the cereal mixture into the bag. Tightly zip the bag. Gently shake the bag until all the cereal is coated. Allow to cool in the bag for 15 minutes. Place in a bowl or gift box. Add the remaining peanut butter chips and chocolate chips and sprinkles before serving or packaging.
