Microwave for 30 more seconds and stir again. If the mixture is not melted, continue to microwave in 15 second increments, stirring between each one until smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and mix well again.
Put the Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl and pour the chocolate mixture over it. Toss the cereal to coat it with chocolate.
