Dawg Chow
All Dawgs love this sweet and salty snack mix with roasted peanuts and red and black candies to show your team spirit.
Ingredients:
10 c. Chex cereal, rice, corn, wheat (mixed in any combo)
Peanuts red hots
1½ c. semi sweet chocolate chips, divided
1½ c. honey roasted peanuts
1 c. confectioner’s sugar
1 c. red and black/brown M&M's (or other chocolate candies)
3/4 c. Red Hot cinnamon candies
4 Tbsp. salted butter, divided
¼ c. creamy peanut butter
¼ c. water
Preparation: Divide Chex into two large bowls. Set aside. In a medium sized bowl, microwave 1 c. chocolate chips, peanut butter and 1 Tbsp. butter in 15 second increments. Stir after each time. Continue until smooth. Pour chocolate and peanut butter mixture over one bowl of cereal. Stir until cereal is well coated. Put confectioner’s sugar in a large zip lock bag. Pour chocolate coated cereal into bag. Shake and turn bag until cereal is well covered in sugar. Pour mixture onto parchment or wax paper in an even layer to cool. In the (now empty) chocolate bowl, stir together remaining chocolate chips, butter, and cinnamon candies. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring after each time, until candies start to get gooey and soft. Add water, stir and cook until smooth. Working quickly, pour cinnamon and chocolate mixture over second bowl of cereal. Stir to coat well, and pour onto paper until cool. (Do not toss this batch.) When cereal has cooled completely, combine in large airtight container with peanuts and red and brown/black M&Ms. Toss to combine and enjoy!
