Pantry Snack

Ever wonder what to do with all those partial boxes of cereal, pretzels, chips, nuts etc. Well here is a snack for you. You can use all kinds of stuff in your pantry. Let the kids help and try lots of different types of cereal and snacks.

Here is the basic recipe

10 cups of stuff (cereal, pretzels, nuts, raisins, chips , etc)

1 cup of chocolate chips

1 cup peanut butter

4 tablespoons butter

2 cups of powdered sugar

a new trash bag

Mix the chocolate chips, butter and peanut butter in a glass bowl. Then put in the microwave until the chocolate is melted and the three mix well together. This should only take one to two minutes depending on your microwave.

Now find stuff in your pantry. I used three kinds of cereal, pretzels, nuts, raisins. The pretzels I had were large so I broke them into smaller pieces. You don't need a lot of any just finish using what you have in a box. This is a great way to clean out your pantry and make a snack. It is also great to let your kids help. As you know anything is good with peanut butter and chocolate. Be creative.

Now pour the chocolate mixture over your pantry stuff. Mix well. Pour the powdered sugar in a new trash bag and shake it around in the bag. This will help coat the sides of the bag. (Do not use a scented trash bag) Now pour the chocolate and cereal mixture in the bag. Tie the top and shake well. The kids can help here. This will coat the mixture with powdered sugar. Pour into air tight container and eat. You can also put it in ziploc bags to take with you.
