How to Make White Trash Snack Mix Microwave

  1. 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.
  2. Microwave on high for 1-minute intervals, stirring after each minute, until completely melted and smooth (approximately 2-3 minutes total).
  3. Add 6 cups Chex cereal (Rice Chex, Wheat Chex, or a mix) to the melted mixture.
  4. Stir gently but thoroughly to coat all the Chex pieces evenly.
  5. Pour the coated Chex cereal into a large resealable plastic bag. Add 1/2 cup powdered sugar.
  6. Seal the bag tightly and shake vigorously until the Chex is evenly coated with powdered sugar.
