Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 11 cups chex cereal (I like rice chex)
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup butter (1/2 a stick)
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Pour the Chex cereal into an extra large bowl
- Add the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter to a medium sized, microwave safe bowl. Microwave the mixture in 30 second increments, stirring after each, until you can stir it smooth.
- Add the vanilla extract and salt and stir them into the melted chocolate.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the chex cereal. Stir it all together carefully until you can coat the cereal evenly with the chocolate peanut butter mixture.
- Add half your cereal to a 1 gallon sized bag, and half the powdered sugar, and shake it all up until the cereal is coated with the powered sugar mixture. Empty the bag into a bowl or onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Repeat with remaining cereal and powered sugar, and enjoy!
