Snacks- Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Chex Mix- Gluten Free
Gluten Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Snack Mix
I saw a bag of this at Sams Wholesale the other day, called Muddy something, so I suppose you could buy it pre-made. It might be cheaper homemade, and you don’t have the extra chemicals in it! I got this recipe from Carol Weiner of Townsend, at Tuesday’s Dazzling Dominos Dames!
9 cups of Rice Chex (almost a whole box)
½ cup of peanut butter (doesn’t make any difference if it is creamy or chunky, but I use creamy.)
12 oz bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
powdered sugar
Melt the chocolate on your stovetop and add the peanut butter. Mix just until creamy smooth. Pour over the Chex mix in a big bowl. Gently toss and stir until covered. Then pour over the top a cup of powdered sugar and toss until pieces start to separate. You will do this 3 or 4 times using a few cups of powdered sugar but I never measured exactly how much. This freezes well.

Cheerio Nut Snack Mix
1/2 c. brown sugar, packed
1/2 c. dark corn syrup
1/4 c. butter
1/2 tsp. salt
6 c. Cheerios cereal
1 c. peanuts
1/2 c. slivered almonds
(The original recipe is above. I usually use 1 cup of peanuts, 1 cup of silvered almonds and 1 cup of cashews. You could use pecans if you have a peanut allergy. There always seems to be enough goop to pour over and coat everything; you just have to really mix it in the pot for a few minutes.)
Heat oven to 325 degrees. Brush jelly roll pan, 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1 inch with butter or spray with oil cooking spray. Melt butter then add brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt in 3 quart, or bigger, saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. When it’s bubbling remove from heat. Stir in nuts, then add cereal and stir until well coated. Spread mixture in the jelly roll pan. Bake 15 minutes. Cool 5 to10 minutes; loosen mixture with metal spatula and break into chunks into a plastic container with a lid. Don’t wait too long or you are busting it apart. Store in the covered container. I usually freeze it and it lasts for months. Just scoop out how much you need and leave the rest in the freezer. About 8-10 cups of snack.
