Ingredients :
- 1 box Rice Chex cereal about 11 cups
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter such as Skippy or Jif
- 6 tablespoons butter cut into 6 pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon salt plus more, to taste
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar divided
Directions :
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, add cereal and set aside.
- In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, add chocolate, peanut butter, butter, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir, then continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until almost melted, about 45 seconds. Remove from the microwave and stir until smooth. Stir in the vanilla. Taste and add more salt to taste.
- Gently pour chocolate mixture over the cereal. Toss until all the cereal is evenly coated. Add powdered sugar one cup at a time, tossing the mixture each time. Add the remaining ½ cup powdered sugar and toss, ensuring cereal is evenly coated.
- Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer. Allow to cool, about 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
