Spring Mix

There’s a popular dessert recipe in my family with an inappropriate name.  Sure there are other names for this dessert, but the real name is politically incorrect.  Though I decided that it must be shared because everyone, and I mean everyone, loves this recipe.

For the sake of being polite, we’ll call it…

Spring Mix

You will need:

•3 cups Cheerios

•3 cups Rice Chex

•3 cups Corn Chex

•3 cups pretzel sticks

•3 cups dry roasted peanuts

•1 bag M&Ms

•3 bags white chocolate chips

1.) Combine all ingredients except M&Ms and white chocolate in a large bowl.

2.) Put white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 3 minutes, stirring every 30-45 seconds until melted.  Continue to stir once chocolate is melted so it starts to cool.

3.) Pour melted chocolate over cereal and stir together.

4.) Then stir, stir, stir!  Make sure everything is very well coated.  Once coated, add the M&Ms  and continue to stir.

5.) Let cool for about an hour and allow mix to harden.  Then break into chunks and store in a dry airtight container.

Still wondering the real name of this delicious concoction?  Well,  here’s a hint.  The first word is the color of egg shells and the second word is what you put out to the curb once a week.  Got it ;)?

Does this politically incorrect  name stop me from eating it?  Not a chance.  It’s sweet, salty, crunchy, and chocolatey. Just make it and give it a try, I bet you’ll be too busy munching to even care.
