Equipment
- Glass Mixing Bowls You'll need a large mixing bowl for mixing the ingredients together.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

- In medium bowl, measure out 3 cups of the Peanut Butter Chex cereal; set aside.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips, butter and peanut butter in 30-second increments. Stop to stir, and microwave another 15 seconds, if needed. Stir until smooth. Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal and stir until the cereal is evenly coated with the chocolate.
