Holiday Baking

HOW WONDERFUL!

Christmas is officially my new favorite cooking season. It gives me an excuse to try out a ton of different recipes, and actually have places to take- and people to eat- the product. Friend parties, family parties, work parties, drop in company, and of course gift plates. I love it.

So here's a run down of the hits.

Addictive Chex Mix
Ingredients
White chocolate
Unsalted peanuts
M&M's
Rice Chex

Method
Melt chocolate
Mix all ingredients
Lay out on wax paper or aluminum foil and allow to cool
When the chocolate has hardened, it's ready to eat!

Tips
-
Melt the chocolate in the microwave and it won't burn.
-One box of chex, a medium can of nuts, and large bags of m&m's and white chocolate makes an insanely giant bowl of this snack mix. Enough for me to have to have to mix it in my bowl that won't fit in the dishwasher and serve it in my biggest serving bowl. Enough for a family of 12 to snack on all weekend and still have a little left.
-This is a use your imagination recipe. Use peanut butter chips or butterscotch chips instead of white chocolate, add pretzels, whatever. Post a comment if you have a suggestion!

seriously we are like the same person. I made chex muddy buddies (peanut butter + chocolate + checx + powdered sugar = awesome) for the new years party (we totally missed you guys!) and while it might now sound weird to make chex mix during the holidays i have to admit i hadnt had any since i was a kid. anyway yeah just sayin
