Directions: In small bowl, heat the chocolate chips and peanut butter in the microwave until fully melted. Once melted, mix all of the chocolate and peanut butter in with the large bowl of chex mix. Once completely covered with chocolate, pour powered sugar over the top and mix it all together. Easiest done if mix all of the chex mix, chocolate, and powered sugar in a ziplock bag and then shake it all together.

Once melted, turn off heat. Pour the rice krispy cereal into the pan and stir. Grease a pan and pour the rice krispies into the pan and even out with spatula. Let cool. Best served that day.
