- Melt. Heat the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth. Stir in the vanilla.
- Coat. Pour the warm mixture over the cereal and fold gently with a spatula until every piece is covered.
- Dust. Move half of the coated cereal to a large zip bag with half of the powdered sugar, seal, and shake. Repeat with the rest.
- Cool. Spread the mix on a parchment lined sheet and let it set for 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Substitutions: Use sunflower seed butter in place of peanut butter for a peanut free version.
Tips: Let the chocolate mixture cool for 1 minute before pouring so it does not melt the cereal.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
