Some Christmas Goodies

In celebration of Christmas, I want to share a few delicious recipes!!  The first one is a yummy cereal bar that makes great lunch snacks.

Peanut Butter Cereal Treats

30 Large Great Value Marshmallows
3 TBSP Great Value No Salt Added Butter
1 TBSP Great Value Creamy Peanut Butter
6 Cups Enviro-Kids Peanut Butter Puff Cereal
1 1/2 Cups Sixlets (M & M's work great too!!)

In a large saucepan, combine the marshmallows, butter and peanut butter.  Cook and stir over medium-low heat until melted.  Remove from heat.  Stir in the cereal and Sixlets (M & M's).  Pat into a buttered 13 x 9 x 2 inch cake pan.  Cool.  Cut into bars.

GF Chex Mix Chicken Feed

3 Cups Corn Chex
3 Cups Rice Chex
3 Cups Krogers Ultimate Cheese Poppers
 (I substituted some Snyder's Gluten Free Pretzels, some Glutino Honey Nut O's for the Rice Chex)
1 Cup mixed nuts (I used P-Nuttles Butter Toffee Sunflower Kernels)
6 TBSP Great Value Butter
2 TBSP Kurtz Worcestershire Sauce - Sav-A-Lot Brand
1 tsp Tony Chachere's Cajun Seasoning
1 tsp Kroger Onion Powder

Heat oven to 250 degrees.  In a roaster pan, melt butter in the oven.  Add seasonings and mix well.  Add in the cereals and pretzels and cheese corn, nuts, etc.  Stir well.  Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.  Cool.  Store in an airtight container.
