To create your irresistible Cherry Cheesecake Puppy Chow, follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Cereal: Place the Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl, ensuring it is ready to combine with the chocolate mixture.
2. Melt Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cherry candy melts, white chocolate chips, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until completely melted and smooth.
3. Combine Mixtures: Pour the melted mixture over the Chex cereal, gently stirring to coat the cereal evenly.
4. Add Cherries: Fold in the chopped dried cherries or fresh cherries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
5. Cool the Mixture: Allow the mixture to cool for about 5 minutes to slightly set.
6. Mix with Graham Crackers: Transfer the mixture to a large Ziploc bag or bowl. Add the powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs, sealing the bag or covering the bowl. Shake or stir until the mixture is well-coated.
7. Cool Again: Spread the coated puppy chow on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool for an additional 10 minutes.
8. Store: Once cooled, store the puppy chow in an airtight container for up to a week.
