How to.....
Prep your ingredients. Spray a microwave safe bowl with non stick spray. This will help with clean up! Set the butter, chocolate chips and Nutella in the bowl.
Put the powdered sugar in a gallon sized ziploc bag and set aside. If you are adding any of the extras set them in a mixing bowl and set aside.
Put your 4 cups of preferred cereal choice in a mixing bowl and set aside.
Put the bowl with the chocolate chips, Nutella, and butter in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir. Repeat but set the timer for one minute. Stir, repeat and set the timer for one minute again. Stir and pour over your cereal and mix vigorously with a spatula. Set the mixing bowl back in the microwave for one minute and then stir again. While it would be nice to have it coat evenly over the cereal, you are not Martha and its okay that it is not evenly coated. It will be clumpy and more chocolate on some pieces then others.
Pour the chocolate covered cereal into the powdered sugar ziploc back. Seal and SHAKE IT BABY!!!! Burn off some stress and shake it to the rhythm of "From the windows, to the walls"....Just shake that darn thing until you cannot shake it anymore. Well, maybe like 3 minutes. Until the cereal is well coated.
Pour the well coated yummy cereal into a colander and then lightly toss it over the sink to get the excess powdered sugar into the sink and out of your dog chow.
Optional step: Pour back into mixing bowl and add your extras. Bring on the M&Ms, mini marshmallows, and star shaped sprinkles. This is your yummy mix and you own it!
Possibilities are endless!
