4 cups powdered sugar (10x sugar or icing sugar)
1/2 cup butter

2 cups chocolate chips
1/2 cup of chopped peanuts

In either a sauce pan, or the microwave, melt 1/2 cup of butter and set aside.

Mix the peanut butter and powdered sugar.  Add in the melted butter and mix well.

Fold in the cereal, and then spread evenly in a cake sized pan (13×9).
