How to Make White Trash Snack Mix Microwave

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/4 cup margarine, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Microwave on high for 1-minute intervals, stirring after each minute, until completely melted and smooth (approximately 2-3 minutes total).
Add 6 cups Chex cereal (Rice Chex, Wheat Chex, or a mix) to the melted mixture.
Stir gently but thoroughly to coat all the Chex pieces evenly.
Pour the coated Chex cereal into a large resealable plastic bag. Add 1/2 cup powdered sugar.
Seal the bag tightly and shake vigorously until the Chex is evenly coated with powdered sugar.
