Monkey Munch!!

THANK YOU MELISSA!! On Sunday I was talking to my friend Melissa and she was telling me how her and her husband had just made some monkey munch. For those of you who watch Jon and Kate plus 8, you know what monkey munch is :) Anyway it sounded so good I thought I should try to make it myself. I thought it would be something fun for Jordan and I to do together and to surprise Jesse when he got home from work. I already had most of the ingredients I just had to pick up a few things at the store.

Monkey Munch ingredients:

9 cups Chex cereal (any variety) it was pretty much the whole box

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/4 cup butter or margarine

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Jordan was so excited to get to help me make something for daddy

She helped me put all the Chex mix in the bowl

She helped me stir in all the ingredients

You put the chocolate chips, peanut butter and the butter in a microwaveable bowl and melt uncovered on high for 1 minute. Stir and then microwave for another 30 seconds or until the mixture is stirred smooth.

Stir in the vanilla

Poor the melted mix over the cereal and stir until evenly coated

She got to lick the spatula, yummy!!

Then she was asking me for MORE!!

Poor the mix into a 2 gallon Ziploc bad and add powdered sugar, seal the bag

Shake the bad until every thing's well coated then spread the mix on waxed paper to cool.

And your done. Eat and enjoy!!

Most of the ingredients I used were organic so I guess it is somewhat healthier for you, or that is what I keep telling myself as I take another handful :) It is so yummy. Thanks again Melissa for giving me the idea to make the Monkey Munch, it is such a good snack. I know Jordan had so much fun helping me make it.
