In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsweetened chocolate chips, unsweetened peanut butter, and coconut oil.
Microwave the mixture on high in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. This should take about 1 to 1.5 minutes total.
Remove the chocolate mixture from the microwave and stir in the vanilla extract.
In a large mixing bowl, measure out 9 cups of Chex cereal.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the Chex cereal, using a spatula to gently mix and coat all the cereal evenly with the chocolate mixture.
Add granulated stevia to a large resealable plastic bag. Alternatively, you can use a large container with a lid.
Transfer the chocolate-coated cereal into the bag, seal it, and gently shake until the cereal is thoroughly coated with the granulated stevia.
Spread the coated puppy chow on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to allow it to cool and set.
Once cooled, transfer the puppy chow to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy this sugar-free treat!
