On Friday at work, I was having a mad craving for this stuff that when I was growing up was called Dog Chow. It's basically Chex covered with chocolate, peanut butter and powered sugar, and it's really good, even if it lacks any sort of sophistication. I hadn't thought about it in years, but suddenly I couldn't get it out of my mind. When I got home that afternoon, there was a package from my mom. Inside, in addition to some conversation hearts and a little Valentine, was a huge bag of... Dog Chow! Okay, so it was a slightly different version made with white chocolate and more ingredients than just Chex, but it's the same concept. Mom read my mind before I even had the thought!
Here is her version. I highly recommend it if you're having a need for something hugely sweet and delightfully portable (I brought my bag to work today).
WHITE CHOCOLATE PARTY MIX
10 oz bag of mini pretzels
5 cups of Cherrios
5 cups of Corn Chex
2 cups of dry roasted peanuts
1 lb of plain m&ms
24 oz of white chocolate chips
3 tablespoons oil
Mix first 5 ingredients in a big bowl. Melt chips and oil in microwave 2 1/2 minutes, then stir and melt another 20 seconds. Pour over dry ingredients. Spread on wax paper and let cool. Break apart and store in airtight container.
