Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker pieces, mini marshmallows, and rice cereal. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter.
Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth (about 1-2 minutes).
Stir in the vanilla extract after melting.
Immediately pour the melted chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl.
Use a spatula to gently fold the mixture together until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the chocolate.
Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small clusters. You can use your hands to shape them if needed.
Refrigerate the clusters for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate has fully set.
Once set, remove the clusters from the refrigerator and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Serve and enjoy your homemade Tastes Like Clodhoppers treats!
