Sunday Goodies

Denise C. gave me this idea. We were talking about snacks one day-I think I was trying to find a good munchie recipe for the kids...or me. And we were tossing around ideas and she mentioned Monkey Munch from Jon and Kate Plus 8. Enjoy...my kids (and my) new favorite snack. :)

Ingredients

• 9 cups corn squared cereal (or Chex)-if you are looking for a Natural/Organic brand that makes them - Health Valley does
• 1 cup Semi-Sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup Organic Peanut Butter (MaraNatha is YUMM-O)
• 1/4 cup Organic Butter
• 1 teaspoon Organic Vanilla (Simply Organic has great spices and extracts)
• 1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar

Directions

1. Put cereal in a large bowl and put 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 thirty second intervals until it mixes smoothly.


5. Add the vanilla and stir.


6. Pour over the cereal while stirring.


7. Put combination into a 2-gallon, Ziploc freezer bag.


8. Add powdered sugar, seal the bag and shake until distributed.


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


10. Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for storage.
