Chocolate Lovers Peanut Butter Snack Mix

We are big Reese's Puffs fans in this house... The kids don't request a lot, but this is one thing that my oldest son asks for all the time. Combine that with the fact that I usually have cocoa puffs (generic) on hand I knew this snack was going to be a hit the second I layed eyes on it. And it was... just try to keep your hands out of this mix! Kind of like puppy chow on steroids. Yep - it's a good one!
