Instructions

Pour the Chex cereal in a large bowl. Set aside.
Combine 1 cup chocolate chips, 1/2 peanut butter and 3 Tablespoons butter in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for one minute. Stir until melted. Microwave an additional 15 seconds if needed. Alternatively you could cook over a double broiler. Remove and let sit 1-2 minutes to cool slightly.

Shake: Place 1/2 cup powdered sugar in a large zip top bag or brown paper bag. Add coated chex and remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar on top. Shake until coated. Add more powdered sugar if desired.
Pour onto a piece of wax paper to set (about 20 minutes).
