Red Velvet Puppy Chow

I LOVE puppy chow, so I thought I would try other flavors of it.  My husband loves red velvet cake, so I decided on red velvet puppy chow.  It was good, but honestly they turned out with a stale feel.  I think the cereal got soggy from the sauce, but I'm not sure what can be done to avoid that.  It was good anyway.

Red Velvet Puppy Chow

Ingredients:
1 cup white chocolate chips
2 Tbsp. cream cheese
2 Tbsp. milk
5 cups rice Chex
1 cup boxed red velvet cake mix
1/2 cup powdered sugar 

Note: I did steps 1-4 in a bowl in the microwave.
Step 1: Make a double broiler with a pot filled with an inch or so of water, place a glass bowl that fits inside the pot- but the bottom of the bowl should not touch the water. Basically, the steam from the pot is going to slowly, delicately melt the chocolate. Turn the heat to medium.  
Step 2: Toss the white chocolate chips in the bowl.
Step 3: Stir, and stir, and stir until the chocolate melts.
Step 4: Turn off the heat and add the cream cheese and milk. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and everything is combined.
Step 5: Stir the chex and the melted chocolate together until the cereal is fully coated.
Step 6: In a separate, smaller bowl whisk together the cake mix and powdered sugar. 
Step 7: Transfer cereal to a tupperware container, top with cake mix and close tightly. Shake, shake, shake!
