MONKEY MUNCH


After overhearing the words "monkey munch" on TV's "Jon & Kate Plus 8", I had to find the recipe for this snack that Kate said her kids just loved. We always enjoy a snack from home as we travel to a feis, so this sounded like something that can be made up in advance and eaten on-the-go. Here's the recipe:

Ingredients

  • 9 cup Chex cereal
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Directions

  1. Put cereal in large bowl. Melt chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
  3. Pour over Chex cereal, put into a large plastic bag with powdered sugar and shake well to coat.
  4. Spread mixture evenly on wax paper and allow to cool.
