Recipe Roundup! MUDDY BUDDIES

Today, we are making Muddy Buddies!  I took these to my daughter-in-law's TRIPLET shower on Saturday!   They are EASY to make and ADDICTING!  (So, there, I have warned you!) 

9 cups Rice Chex cereal
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-1/2 cups powdered sugar

Into large bowl, measure cereal; set aside.
In 1-quart microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter, uncovered on HIGH 1 minute; stir.  Microwave about 30 seconds longer or until mixture can be stirred smooth.  Stir in vanilla.  Pour mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated.  Pour into 2-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag.  Add powdered sugar.  Seal bag; shake until well coated.  Spread on waxed paper to cool.  Store in airtight container in refrigerator.  18 servings (1/2 cup each)  ENJOY!
