Preparation Steps
  1. Using an extra large mixing bowl, add in the 10 cups of rice chex. Set it aside.
  2. Using a medium size heat-safe mixing bowl, add the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave for 45 seconds. Stir and continue heating in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the mixture is smooth.
