In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add white chocolate chips, cubed salted butter, and peanut butter.

Continuously stir the mixture until everything is creamy and melted, keeping an eye on it to prevent burning.

Once smooth, turn off the stove and add vanilla extract, mixing it in.

In a large bowl or pot, place the rice chex cereal and pour the melted mixture over it, mixing until completely coated.

Place half of the coated cereal into a large Ziploc bag, add half of the icing sugar, and shake until well coated.

Transfer the coated cereal onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper to dry.

Repeat the process with the remaining cereal and icing sugar.

Allow the snack mix to dry at room temperature for one hour.

After drying, use a slotted spatula to carefully remove the snack mix from the parchment paper.

Decorate with Easter M&Ms if desired.
