The Chex Recipe

Here's a variation on the recipe I mentioned in my last post. The one I use doesn't call for butter or vanilla so if you don't like that you don't need to use those ingredients. The other ingredients and measurements are the same. I also add cashews and craisins to my mix.

INGREDIENTS:

* 9 cups rice Chex cereal
* 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
* 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
* 1/4 cup margarine
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

PREPARATION:
Place the chex cereal in a large bowl that is large enough to have enough room to stir things up. Melt the chocolate chips, margarine, and peanut butter in a microwave safe dish, in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes, or until smooth and creamy when stirred. Add the vanilla, and stir. Pour over the cereal and stir until the cereal is evenly coated. Put the powdered sugar in a large paper sack, add the coated cereal and shake until evenly coated with the powdered sugar. Spread over a sheet of waxed paper until cooled off. Store in an air tight container.
