Here is what you need for one version of monkey munch, more commonly known as Chex Muddie Buddies:

9 cups of Chex cereal in a large bowl

1 cup semi-sweet Chocolate Chips.

1/2 cup of peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)

1/4 cup butter or margarine

1 teaspoon of pure vanilla

1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar

Put chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter into a medium sized microwavable bowl.

Microwave mixture uncovered for one minute on "high." Stir the Chex mix and continue to heat in thirty second intervals until it mixes smoothly.

Add the vanilla and stir again. Pour the hot mixture over the cereal while stirring. Put the mixture into an extra large resealable freezer bag* or brown paper bag.

* Be sure to use the type of bag specified for freezers, they are thicker and more durable than regular bags and can survive the tossing and shaking needed in the second half of the recipe.

Add the powdered sugar seal or close the bag and shake until well covered with sugar. You might want to adjust the amount of sugar by reserving 12 the sugar as you shake and then adding in 1/2 cup amounts until you feel the buddies are covered, but no "dusty"

Spread the mixgture out on wax paper to cool and dry.

Store in an airtight container in a cool place or fridge.
