(by Shirley McNevich)

9 cups Rice Chex cereal
1 cup Nestle's semi-sweet chocolate bits OR Nestle's white chocolate bits
1/2 cup Jif peanut butter
1/4 cup butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups Domino's powdered sugar

Place the cereal in a large bowl--set aside. In a microwave safe bowl add the chocolate bits, peanut butter and butter--microwave on high in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Add the vanilla--stir. Drizzle the chocolate mixture over the cereal--use a spatula and toss to coat. Pour the cereal into a large plastic bag and add all of the powdered sugar--close the bag tightly and shake until coated. Spread the cereal mixture on sheets of wax paper to cool.
