Directions
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and melted.
  2. Stir in the peppermint extract into the melted mixture, blending well until the heavenly aroma of mint fills the air.
  3. Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the Chex cereal in a large bowl. Gently stir until every piece is thoroughly coated and shiny.
  4. Carefully transfer the chocolate-coated Chex cereal into a large zip-top bag or bowl.
  5. Add the powdered sugar to the bag or bowl. Seal securely and shake, or stir until all the pieces are well-coated.
