- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or wax paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Pour the Rice Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
Step 3
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and unsalted butter.
Step 4
Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until smooth and fully melted (1-2 minutes total).
Step 5
Stir in the vanilla extract after removing the melted mixture from the microwave.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Transfer the coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag or a large mixing bowl with a lid.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Spread the coated cereal onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer and let it cool and set for about 10-15 minutes.
Step 10
Once cooled, transfer to a serving bowl or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
