Puppy Chow

I remember when my Mom discovered this recipe when we were kids.  We made a bunch of it and took it to our school (Progressive) for all our classmates and put it in bags with the Purina chow emblem on it.  I remember it being a big hit with everyone.  We’ve never stopped making it.  I just made a bunch of it this week for the all the boys that come over here each Wednesday after school.  It’s so yummy and such a simple snack to make. 

1 Cup Peanut Butter
1 Cup Chocolate Chips
1/2 Cup Butter
8 Cups Chex Mix Cereal (corn or rice)
1 1/2 Cups Powdered Sugar

Put the Chex mix in a container you have a lid for and one you can close and shake. 
Put the peanut butter, chocolate chips and butter all in a microwavable dish and melt.  Stir and pour over the check mix cereal.  Put the lid on and shake so all Chex mix is covered in the chocolate mixture.  Then take your powdered sugar and pour it on top.  Again close lid and shake until all is covered.  Sometimes I have to add more powdered sugar to get them all covered good.  You can add candy for some color and to make it festive or eat plain.  Enjoy!

Aunt Kay Kay’s Cranberry Jello Salad

Every year for Thanksgiving, Aunt Kay Kay brings this dish to our Thanksgiving gathering.  We all love it and I finally remembered to ask her for the recipe.  It’s delicious and easy and would make a great salad for a Christmas gathering too. 

2 Small Pkg. Raspberry Jell-O
1 Can Crushed Pineapple
1 Can Whole Canned Cranberries

Boil 2 Cups Water (include the juice from the pineapple as part of your 2 cups).  Pour over the raspberry Jell-O.  Stir well and make sure Jell-O is all dissolved.  Add 4 cups ice.  Stir well until all ice has melted.  Add crushed pineapple and cranberries.  Stir and put in refrigerator to set up several hours before serving. 

Enjoy!
