Instructions
Pour the Rice Chex cereal into a large bowl and set aside. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave uncovered on high for 1 minute; stir.
Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and pourable.
Stir in the vanilla extract until combined. Immediately pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently stir with a spatula or large spoon until the cereal is evenly coated.
Pour the coated cereal into a 2-gallon zip-top food-storage plastic bag. Add the confectioners' sugar to the bag, seal it, remove excess air, and shake vigorously until the cereal is well coated.
Spread the coated cereal in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to cool and set, breaking apart any large clumps as needed.
Once cooled, transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
