Ingredients:

• 9 cups crispy rice or corn cereal, such as Rice Chex or Corn Chex

• 1 cup chocolate chips (milk, semisweet or dark chocolate)

• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

• 1/4 cup butter

• 1 tsp. vanilla extract

• 1-1/2 cups powdered sugar

Preparation:

• Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal, and toss with a spatula or large spoon to coat the cereal well.
