Put chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter into a microwave-safe bowl, heat for 1 minute, and then stir until melted and smooth. Pour the mixture over one of the bowls of cereal and stir until it’s coated. Put cereal mixture in an air-tight bag and add the powdered sugar. Shake until evenly coated.
