1¼ cups (345g) peanut butter

2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups (360g) confectioners sugar

In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter just until smooth. Can also place in a bowl and microwave in 60 second intervals and stir well in between each interval.
Stir in vanilla. Pour over the cereal and mix gently until the cereal is covered with chocolate. Pour cereal into a large ziploc bag. (May need to do this in 2 batches) Add confectioners sugar to the bag and seal well. Shake to coat the cereal.
Transfer to a baking sheet (or 2) to let cool and harden. Enjoy!
