Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 9 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 2/3 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or wax paper for easy cleanup.
Pour the Rice Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and unsalted butter.
Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until smooth and fully melted (1-2 minutes total).
Stir in the vanilla extract after removing the melted mixture from the microwave.
Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the Rice Chex cereal and gently fold with a spatula until all the cereal pieces are evenly coated.
Transfer the coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag or a large mixing bowl with a lid.
Add the powdered sugar to the bag or bowl. Seal the bag tightly or secure the lid, then shake vigorously until the cereal is fully coated with powdered sugar.
Spread the coated cereal onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer and let it cool and set for about 10-15 minutes.
Once cooled, transfer to a serving bowl or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
