Chex PB and Chocolate Blast - Chex Mix-Change

I wrote last month about being chosen to host a Chex Party Mix-Change.  One of the recipes from the Mix-Change was Chex PB and Chocolate Blast.  It was a big hit! 


YUM!

Along with this recipe there were recipes for; Chex Pumpkin Pie Crunch, Hot Buttered Yum Chex Mix and Chex Caramel-Chocolate Drizzles.  You can get all the recipes by clicking here Chex Party Mix-Change Recipes.

The Chex PB and Chocolate Blast took just minutes to make.  There are a couple things I did, or would do differently next time. 

I don't have a huge refrigerator so when it said to line 2 cookie sheets with waxed paper, I knew I wouldn't have room.  Instead, I only used one.  I simply put another piece of waxed paper on top of the first coated cereal, and then put the other coated cereal on top.  It turned out great and took up less room. 

Next time I think I will add the peanuts to the peanut butter coated cereal before it goes in the refrigerator to cool and I will add the M&Ms to the white chocolate coated cereal before it goes in the refrigerator.  If you look at my picture, you can see the that M&Ms and peanuts all kind of sink to the bottom.  I think if you combine them in then it will be more evenly distributed. 

Hope you enjoy the recipes!  With each of them only taking minutes, the only hard decision will be which to make first.

Romania... are you sure?

A few weeks back I received a call from one of our church members telling me that God put my name on his heart during his prayer time that morning and he wanted me to pray about going to Romania. WHAT??? I can't go to Romania, I have 4 children, I can't leave them for a week! I, of course, did not say this to him, I instead said that I would pray about it. Immediately I sent my husband an email telling him about the phone call. He instantly sent me a message back asking what we had to do to make it happen. Wait a minute....he does realize the kids aren't going with me, doesn't he? That evening we were sitting with our children looking at the globe. We showed them where they were born and where they live now. Suddenly, my youngest daughter spins the globe, points her little finger and says "where is that". Of all places, she pointed to Romania. I have often told friends that I need a postcard of clarity from God. I think that was definitely a postcard in the fo...

Trying to be more of a planner

In December I started making a monthly meal plan.  I was excited, but a little nervous about how it would all turn out.  I must say I was pleasantly surprised at the outcome.  It didn't take as much time as I thought it would. I made the meal calendar for the month and then wrote down all the ingredients I would need.  That part was a little overwhelming at first.  I separated the lists into perishables and non-perishables/freezable.   Now I do a once a month shopping trip for the non-perishables/freezables and then a bi-weekly shopping trip for perishables.  I don't stick to the menu every day, but I know that I will have enough meals for a whole month.  When making out the menu I tried to put similar meals back to back.  Like one night we will have meatloaf and the next night we have shepherd pie.  I use the same ingredients 2 days in a row.  It saves time and money. My once a month shopping trip consists of bulk buying...

A Mom Is A Mom

I've been struggling with something for a while now. My struggle has caused me to hide out in my house and not want to go out into the world. What is my struggle? Women treating other women in a negative matter. Women talking about other women in a negative matter. More to the point - I struggle with the way moms treat other moms. We moved down south from Michigan about 5 years ago. I was excited for the change. My excitement was quickly squashed with the negativity I received. Unfortunately, there are still some people down south who do not care for people from the north. This has been a struggle the entire time I have lived down here. I simply do not fit in. My feeling is that I don't care where you are from. If you are a woman, we have something in common and we should support each other and lift each other up. If you are a mom, we have even more in common and we should support each other and lift each other up. It doesn't matter if you are a working mom or a s...
