How do I store Puppy Chow?

Store your puppy chow in an airtight container for 2-3 days on the counter. Or, some prefer to store their puppy chow in the fridge or freezer claiming it tastes better and stores longer (I haven't tested that).

Can I use a different kind of Chex instead of Rice Chex?

Yes, the texture of Puppy Chow will not be affected by using a different flavor Chex. Rice Chex doesn't have much flavor on its own, so be aware that using any other kind of Chex will change the flavor of Puppy Chow to some degree.

Instructions

In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
Stir in the chocolate chips and peanut butter and stir constantly until the mixture is liquefied and well combined. Remove from heat.
Using a gallon sized plastic bag, pour about half of the Chex cereal into it.
Drizzle about half of the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal.
Close the bag and give it a good shake until the Chex pieces are coated in the chocolate.
Once cereal is coated, scoop about half of the powdered sugar over the Chex, close the top and give it another good shake.
Add powdered sugar as needed until the Puppy Chow resembles the consistency you want it. Dump that batch into a large bowl or storage container.
Repeat these steps with the remaining ingredients. This stores for 2-3 days on the counter, maybe longer in the fridge.
