Monkey Munch
Ingredients:
9 cups chex cereal (I use whole wheat to make it healthier)
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar


Step one: Measure out chex mix into a big, big bowl, set aside.
Step two: Mix chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter or margarine in a microwave safe bowl.
Step three: Stir together.
Step four: Microwave the mixture uncovered for 1 minute on high, stir, continue to "zap" for 30 second intervals until it mixes smoothly.
Step five: add vanilla, stir.
Step six: pour over the cereal while stirring.
Step 7: put the cereal mixture into a gallon Ziploc freezer bag.
Step 8: Add powdered sugar, seal the bag and shake until the powdered sugar is distributed.
Step 9: Spread onto wax paper to dry (you can put it in the freezer for 10 minutes, I think this is the best way).
Step 10: Enjoy! Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for storage.
