We started a tradition last year (gotta start traditions somewhere, right?) of the sweet kind.
Every Sunday in December, we would make something tasty. Something sweet. Delectable. Delicious.
So, Sunday, we made MONKEY MUNCH.
Some people call it puppy chow, some call it muddy munch....it has lots of different names. I prefer monkey munch because that's what Kate calls it on Jon & Kate + 8, and I happen to be a fan.
Sis mixes....
Daddy shakes...
Daniel does the dishes...
And the final product is a hit!
Monkey Munch
(the recipe is on the back of the Rice Chex box, but for posterity's sake, I'll post it)
9 cups Rice Chex Cereal
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used milk chocolate)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (more if needed)
Measure out the cereal in a large bowl. In 1 quart bowl, microwave the peanut butter, chocolate, and butter on high for 1 minute. Stir. Microwave 30 seconds longer if needed, or until mixture is smooth. Pour over cereal and stir until you have an even coat. Add powdered sugar. Coat. Store in air-tight container or gallon ziplock bags.
ENJOY!

Love this stuff!
Daniel...that is the way I would want to do dishes after making it too! ;~D
I wish I had me a fist full!!
Yummy! I did dishes like that last night after making brownies.
Yum! This stuff reminds me of the stuff called "white trash" made with white chocolate. I think your recipe looks better!
Sounds so great. We may just have to make this together too. Thanks for sharing your great ideas!!
Yum, that looks tasty....I love Jon&Kate Plus 8 too. I came across your blog through someone else's, and I am praying you are out of IBESR THIS MONTH with all of the dossiers in there. (that't the rumor...mine is there too!) Your little guy is adorable.
p.s. My blog is private, but if you are interested in an invitation, please send an email..my address is on my profile.
Thanks for stopping by the blog. Hope to connect more with you.
As for the yummy treat, I LOVE those. I have always called them "puppy chow".
