Here is a couple of easy fall snacks that are great for football parties or fall gatherings. I made both of them this past week-end when I had my family over to watch football and hockey and everyone loved them.
Candy Corn Snack Mix: (tastes like a salted nut roll)
Ingredients:
1 cup candy corn
1 cup salted cocktail peanuts without the skins
Directions:
Combine equal amounts of both ingredients and store in a zip lock bag until use. Enjoy!
You can also add an equal amount of m & m's to the above ingredients if you would like.
Chex® Muddy Buddies® Recipe
Ingredients:
9 cups Corn Chex®, Rice Chex®, Wheat Chex® or Chocolate Chex® cereal (or combination)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Directions:
Combine chocolate chips, butter, and peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl and heat on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes stirring after 1 minute. If it needs additional time heat an additional 30 seconds and when it is all melted stir in the vanilla.
Measure out 9 cups (approx. 1 box) of cereal and place in a large mixing bowl. Pour the above chocolate/peanut butter mixture over the top of the cereal and stir until evenly coated. Once it is coated pour the powder sugar over the top and stir until evenly covered. Lay the coated cereal on wax paper and let dry. Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator.
Both of these recipes we have used for years around our house in the fall. Enjoy!
