- Add 6 cups rice Chex cereal to a large bowl.
- Add 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, ⅔ cup peanut butter, and 6 tablespoons salted butter to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each increment, until everything is smooth and completely melted.
