Puppy chow. And a few other little things...

 

This recipe is one of our favorites.  Great for kids, picnics, potlucks, and ric rac glass days!  Yummy, chocolate-y, and oh-so-simple.

Puppy Chow

    4 cups powdered sugar

    12 oz. Crispix cereal (off-brand works just as well)

    12 oz. milk chocolate chips

    1 stick butter (or margarine)

    1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter

Dump your powdered sugar into a trash bag and set aside.  Pour cereal into a large mixing bowl.  Microwave chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter for 2 minutes on high.  Stir.  Microwave again, until melted smooth.  Stir; pour mixture over cereal.  Mix gently to coat cereal.  Pour cereal into bag with powdered sugar.  Shake and eat.

We like to put puppy chow into small individual ziploc bags when taking it to a potluck.  That keeps all of the little hands out of the bowl.  At home, it usually doesn't last long enough to make it into the cabinet... warm puppy chow is hard to beat!

 

Oh yes-- the other little things.  First, we want to thank each and every one of you for your amazing response to our happy scrappy quilt giveaway.  We couldn't be more surprised!  Maybe we should do it more often?

A tutorial to re-make a man's dress shirt is coming soon, Lord willing!  We'll try to have it up in the next several days.

New patterns in the works, too!  We'll be back soon...

How funny, I literally JUST made this a few minutes ago! I added a couple of big spoonfuls of coconut oil instead of the butter and it gave it a yummy coconut flavor as well as the PB and chocolate. Yummy!

So glad to hear from you!
