Tasty Tuesday ~ Monkey Munch

I first saw this recipe on a tv show I used to watch, called Jon & Kate Plus 8 - remember them??? It's also known as Puppy Chow or Muddy Buddies, but we like to call it Monkey Munch.

Here's the recipe.....

MONKEY MUNCH

~ 9 cups Chex cereal ( any variety )

~1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

~1/2 cup peanut butter

~1/4 cup of butter or margarine

~ 1 tsp. vanilla

~ 11/2 cups powdered sugar

Directions:

1. Put Chex in large bowl and set aside.

2. Place chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter into a quart sized microwavable bowl. ( I actually use a sauce pan and melt on the stove ).

3. Stir ingredients together.

4. Microwave the mixture uncovered for 1 minute on high. Stir the mix again and continue to zap in thirty second intervals until it mixes smoothly.

5. Add the vanilla and stir.

6. Put combination into a 2 gallon freezer bag.

7. Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag and shake.

8. Spread Monkey Munch out on wax paper to cool and dry.

9. Keep refridgerated in an airtight container for storage.

ENJOY :)
