Cookies 'n Cream Puppy Chow

This is the perfect treat for those with a sweet tooth! 
Can be made in 10 minutes flat!!

Ingredients:
“Cookies” Puppy Chow
               6 oz semi-sweet chocolate squares (or chocolate chips)
               1 teaspoon shortening
               3 cups Rice Chex cereal
               4 Oreos, crushed into a fine crumb
               2/3 cup confectioners' (powdered) sugar

“Cream” Puppy Chow
               6 oz white chocolate squares (or white chocolate chips)
               1 teaspoon shortening
               3 cups Rice Chex cereal
               4 Oreos, crushed into a fine crumb
               2/3 cup confectioners' (powdered) sugar

Directions:
1.             Begin by crushing 8 Oreos (cream still in tact) into a fine crumb using a blender or food processor. Add half of the Oreos to one large zipped-top bag and the half of the Oreos into a 2nd large zipped-top bag. Add 2/3 cup of confectioners' sugar to each bag. Set aside.

2.             Set out two large bowls. One for the "cookies" version and one for the "cream" version. Pour three cups of Chex cereal into each bowl. Set aside.

3.             Using two small bowls, melt the semi-sweet chocolate and shortening together in one bowl using the microwave. Melt in 30 second increments, stirring after each time. Mine took about 1 minute total. Repeat with white chocolate and shortening in a separate bowl.

4.             Pour semi-sweet chocolate over 1 bowl of cereal, white chocolate over the second bowl of cereal. Stir gently to coat each. You do not want to break the cereal up. Pour the mixtures each into the reserved zipped-top bags. Seal the bags and shake until all the cereal is coated with the sugar/Oreo mixture.  Combine into one large sealed container.  Discard excess powder and enjoy.
