Ingredients

• 1  cup  semisweet chocolate chips
• 3/4  cup  white chocolate chips
• 1 1/2  cups  oven-toasted rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies)

• 1/3  cup  slivered almonds
• 1/2  teaspoon  vanilla

Cover a large baking sheet with wax paper.

Place semisweet and white chocolate chips in a medium glass bowl; microwave at HIGH 45 seconds. Stir, and microwave an additional 45 seconds or until almost melted. Stir until smooth.
