1/2 c. peanut butter
1/4 c. butter or margarine
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 c. powdered confectioners sugar
Measure the cereal into a large bowl and set aside.
In a microwavable safe bowl combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter and nuke for 1 minute. Remove from microwave, stir, return to microwave and nuke for another 30 seconds. Remove from microwave, stir- if the mixture is still not smooth, nuke another 30 seconds. Repeat until smooth. Stir in Vanilla.
