Healthier Puppy Chow / Muddy Buddies (Gluten-Free & Vegan)

In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate and peanut butter and microwave until melted, stirring every 30 seconds. Once melted, stir in the salt and vanilla. Then add the cereal and stir carefully with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Place in the fridge for five minutes to allow it to cool slightly. Meanwhile, add half of the powdered sugar into a gallon-sized bag. Add half of the muddy buddy mixture into the bag, then another layer of powdered sugar, and then the last of the puppy chow on top of that. Seal the bag and shake until all the cereal pieces are evenly coated. Pour mix onto a parchment-lined baking tray and place in the fridge to finish cooling completely. Enjoy (store in an airtight container in the fridge).
