Muddy Buddies

By
9 c Chex cereal 1 c semi-sweet choco chips 1/2 c creamy peanut butter 1/4 c (1/2 stick) butter or margarine 1 tsp vanilla 1-1/2 c powdered sugar Place cereal in large bowl. Place chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter in medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in high for 1-1/2 minutes or until mixture is smooth when stirred. Stir in vanilla. Pour chocolate mixture over cereal, stirring until all pieces are evenly coated. Pour mixture into large plastic bag with powdered sugar; shake until all pieces are coated. Spread on waxed paper to cool. Store in airtight container in refrigerator. Makes about 9 cups. Instead of putting this all into a plastic bag like it asks, I have a big "that's a bowl" from tupperware that I put everything into. I put on the lid and shake it. I don't spread it on waxed paper to cool, I just make sure there is enough powdered sugar to cover all the pieces. Then you can transfer it to a clean container for serving.
