Rice Chex Puppy Chow

NOTES:

1. A half-recipe would make about 9 small servings.  Half-recipe amounts are in parentheses.

2. Would sifting powdered sugar over the covered mixture work?

1 tsp vanilla

1. In a large bowl, put all the cereal and set aside.

2. In a 1-quart microwave-safe bowl, put the chips, peanut butter, and butter.  Heat in microwave on high for 1 minute and stir.
