Chex Muddy Buddies

This is a wonderful and simple snack, that kids can make. There is no baking required, nor do you have to use a stove. All heating is done in the microwave oven. It's a good way to teach your kids about measuring.

9 cups Chex cerals (Corn, Rice and/or Wheat)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanutbutter
1/4 cup margarine
1 tsp vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups powdered sugar (I generally use more to make sure everything is coated really well)

Directions:

1. Pour cereals into a large bowl; set aside.
2. In a 1-quart microwave-safe bowl combine semi-sweet chocalate chips, peanut butter, and margarine. Microwave on high 1 1-1/2 minutes or until smooth, stirring after 1 minute. Stir in vanilla.
3. Pour chocolate mixture over cereals, stirring until all pieces are evenly coated. Pour cereal mixture into a large resealable plastic bag with powdered sugar. Seal securely and shake until all pieces are well coated. Spread on waxed paper to cool.
