Easy Treat for the Kids

[RareBreed]

A friend sent this recipe to me and it sounds I think I'll make this for our July 4th picnic for a dessert.

Monkey Munch

9 cups Chex cereal (any variety)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups powered sugar

1 Put Chex in large bowl and set aside
2 Place chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter into a quart-sized microwavable bowl
3 Stir the ingredients together
4 Microwave the mixture uncovered for a minute on "high". Stir the mix again and continue to zap in 30 second intervals until it mixes smoothly
5 Add vanilla and stir
6 Pour over the cereal while stirring
7 Put combination into a 2-gallon Ziploc freezer bag
8 Add powered sugar, seal bag and shake until distributed
9 Spread out on wax paper to cool and dry
10 Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for storage

Serves 18

It wouldn't surprise me if that's where she got it from. She is a Reality TV junkie. I think I've heard her say she watches that show.
