Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, measure out the Rice Chex cereal. Set aside.

7. Spread the coated cereal on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool.
8. Once the puppy chow is cooled, mix in the chopped pistachios and dried cranberries (if using).
9. Store in an airtight container. Enjoy your Pistachio Puppy Chow as a delightful and crunchy treat!
