Easter Bunny Buddies

• 1/2 Cup Milk Chocolate Chips
• Sprinkles
• Easter Sixlets
• 3/4 Cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
• 3 Tablespoons Butter
• 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• Pinch of Salt
• 4 Cups Rice Chex
• 1 Cup Powdered Sugar

1. Melt the milk chocolate chips in the microwave, running it for 20 seconds at a time and stirring to keep from burning the chocolate.
2. On a small piece of parchment paper, spread out the chocolate into a thin layer. Sprinkle it generously and place it in the fridge until hardened. Once hard, break or chop into small pieces.
3. In a medium size microwave safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter. Microwave 20 seconds at a time, stirring, until melted.
4. Add the vanilla and a dash of salt and stir. Then stir in the Chex cereal.
5. Add the powdered sugar and stir or shake in a bag until evenly coated.
6. Add in the chocolate bark and Sixlets and stir them in. Eat now or save for later in a covered container.

Enjoy!
