White Chocolate Chex Mix

I have been craving one of these mixes and there is usually more peanuts in them than I want.  I kind of just made this one up based on some other mixes like this that I have had, then kept track of the approximate amount of chex and pretzels that I added.

White Chocolate Chex Mix

12 oz white chocolate
1/2 cup peanut butter
5 cup rice chex
5 cup pretzel sticks
1 cup plain m&m's
1/2 cup peanuts

In a very large bowl, melt white chocolate, mix in peanut butter.  Add the remaining mix ins and stir until well coated.  Keep adding cereal and pretzels as needed to use up the chocolate mixture.  Let cool and break apart.

Puppy Chow

I have always loved puppy chow, and if you use Soy peanut butter alternative, it is allergen free!

Cinnamon Roll Chex Mix

I am trying lots of different chex mixes out.  I saw this one on pinterest and thought it looked pretty good.  I couldn't do the white chocolate, so I changed it a bit and went with powdered sugar.  Yum.

1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Place chex in a large mixing bowl.  Microwave butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and karo syrup in a 2 cup measuring cup, stirring occasionally.  Stir in vanilla and baking soda.  Pour over cereal and mix.  Microwave for 1 minute and stir, repeat until well coated.  Pour 1/4 cup of powdered sugar into a clean plastic grocery bag without any holes, add cereal mixture, then another generous 1/4 cup of powdered sugar.  Mix well, then place in an air tight container, putting the lid on after it cools.

Caramel Chex Mix

Chex Mixes are becoming one of my food groups with the dietary restrictions.  I got this recipe off from the chex website and eliminated the m&ms.  Feel free to add them back in.

4 1/2 cup corn chex
1 stick butter (earth balance buttery stick - milk free)

Place cereal in a large mixing bowl.  Put butter, brown sugar, and karo syrup in a 2 cup measuring cup or small bowl and melt in the microwave, stirring occasionally.  Stir in1/4 tsp baking soda, then pour caramel mixture over cereal and stir.  Microwave for 1 minute then stir, then repeat a couple times until all the cereal is well coated.  Pour onto a wax paper covered cookie sheet.  If you want them separated, let cool for 3-5 minutes, then separate with clean hands.  Other wise let cool, then break into chunks.

I found this recipe on the Chex website.  With vegan butter it is allergen free.  It tastes pretty good, but I am missing the white chocolate that you are supposed to drizzle on it.  Probably would love it then. :)
