1. 1

   Place cereal in a large bowl and set aside. In a medium microwavable bowl, add chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter. Microwave on high for 1 minute and stir. Microwave for 30 seconds longer and stir mixture until smooth. Stir in vanilla.

2. 2

   Pour sauce over cereal and stir until evenly coated. Spoon half of the mixture in each 1-gallon re-sealable Ziploc bag. Add 3/4 cup powdered sugar to each bag, and seal. Shake the bag until everything is coated. Spread on waxed/parchment paper to cool. Store in airtight containers in refrigerator.
