Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch

Peanut butter and chocolate infuse these crunchy treats, but a chocolate topping sets them apart. It only takes a few minutes to whip these up for an after-school surprise.

Recipe Ingredients:

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup powdered sugar
3 cups toasted rice cereal

Cooking Directions:

1. Heat morsels and peanut butter in small, heavy-duty saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Remove from heat. Add sugar; stir vigorously until smooth.
