Instructions

Prepare two large half-sheet pans by lining them with parchment paper or wax paper.
In a very large mixing bowl, add 8 cups of Rice Chex cereal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 18 ounces of chopped almond bark with 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter. Microwave for 60 seconds, stir, and continue heating in 30-second bursts until smooth.
Mix in green food coloring until the desired shade of green is achieved.
Pour the green almond bark mixture over the Rice Chex and gently fold until evenly coated.
Incorporate 1 cup of powdered sugar, folding the mixture for 3-5 minutes until dry and separated. Spread it out on the first sheet pan.
In a separate mixing bowl, add 3 cups of Rice Chex cereal.
Melt the remaining 6 ounces of almond bark in the microwave until smooth.
Pour the melted almond bark over the second bowl of cereal and stir to coat. Spread this mixture onto the second sheet pan.
Sprinkle gold sanding sugar over the melted cereal mixture while it's still wet, tossing gently to cover evenly.
Allow both pans to cool for 30-60 minutes or refrigerate for 15 minutes until set. Break apart any clumps and mix the green and gold pieces in a large serving bowl.

Notes

Make sure the almond bark is completely melted for an even coating.
To store, keep the Puppy Chow in an airtight container for up to a week.
Feel free to adjust the amount of green food coloring to achieve your favorite hue.
