There are many names for this addictive snack (most insinuate it is a staple for Snoopy the Dog) but nonetheless it’s simple to make and most people like it. My friend Mandi makes this confection all the time; she graciously shared her recipe for the blog. For our purposes, let’s call it a Kansas Dust Bowl.
Ingredients:
9 Cups of Rice Cereal
1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup of peanut butter
1/4 cup butter/margarnie
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar (Add more as need demands)
Directions:
In a large bowl, measure cereal and set aside. In 1-quart microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter uncovered on High 1 minute; stir. Microwave about 30 seconds longer or until mixture can be stirred smooth. Stir in vanilla. Pour mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated. Pour into 2-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag. Add powdered sugar. Seal bag; shake until well coated. Spread on waxed paper to cool. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.
