Place the rice Chex cereal in a large bowl.
In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave the chocolate mixture for 30 second intervals until melted; stir until smooth.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal and use a spatula to gently toss the cereal in the chocolate until completely coated. Add the sprinkles and stir again.
Place the powdered sugar inside a resealable gallon sized plastic bag. Add the chocolate coated cereal. Seal, then shake until cereal is coated in the sugar.

Notes

Before stirring in chocolate candies, make sure to cool the cereal to room temperature. You don't want any of the candy getting soft or melting.
Make sure your bag is sealed before you shake it!
