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 on high for 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth (about 1–2 minutes).
Stir in the vanilla extract to the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture.
Pour the melted mixture over the Rice Chex cereal and gently toss until all cereal pieces are evenly coated.
Place the powdered sugar into a large resealable plastic bag or a clean, large mixing bowl.
Add the chocolate-coated cereal into the bag or bowl with the powdered sugar. Seal the bag and shake until all cereal pieces are well coated, or toss gently in the bowl until fully coated.
Spread the Monkey Munch on a large baking sheet or parchment paper to cool and set completely for about 10–15 minutes.
Once cooled, transfer the Monkey Munch to an airtight container or serve immediately. Enjoy!
