Muddy Buddy Chex

In a small saucepan, mix 1/4 cup of peanut butter, chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of butter. Heat on low and stir until melted and smooth. Alternatively, place the ingredients in a microwave safe bowl and microwave 20 seconds at a time, stirring between intervals, until melted and smooth.
Place the Chex cereal in large bowl and add the melted chocolate mixture.
Stir well to coat the cereal in the chocolate, then place the coated cereal in a large ziplock bag and add the powdered sugar.
Seal the bag and shake well until all the cereal is coated in powdered sugar.
Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper and spread the coated cereal over the baking sheet. Allow it to dry for about 20 minutes, then add it to the rest of the snack mix.

To assemble the snack mix

In a large bowl mix the muddy buddies and remaining ingredients.
Stir to combine then move to large ziplock bags or airtight containers to store.

Notes

You will need a very large bowl to mix a full batch of the snack mix. If you don't have a bowl large enough, I recommend using 2 1-gallon ziplock bags and adding half of the ingredients to each bag. Shake to combine.
