Reindeer Munchies

I got a free recipe booklet from Land-o-Lakes Butter and thought it would be super cute to make with/for kids!

Ingredients:
5 cups sweetened corn & oat
honeycomb-shaped cereal
2 cups thin pretzel sticks,
broken in half
1/2 cup LAND O LAKES®
Butter
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter*
1 (11.5-ounce) package (1 1/2 cups)
milk chocolate chips
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup red and green candy-coated
milk chocolate pieces
Ice cream cones, if desire


Preparation time: 25 minutes | Total time: 45 minutes | Yield: 12 cups
Reindeer Munchies
Let the kids measure the ingredients and shake the bags for
a sweet snack. santa and the elves will gobble it up!
Combine cereal and pretzels in large bowl; set aside.
Place butter, peanut butter and chocolate chips in medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH (100%
power) for 45 seconds; stir. Continue microwaving until butter and chocolate are melted (15 to 45 seconds). Stir
until smooth.
Immediately pour chocolate mixture over cereal in bowl; stir until well coated. Spread mixture evenly into single layer
on 2 waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Refrigerate 20 minutes to set.
Break into bite-sized pieces; divide mixture between two large resealable plastic food bags. Pour 1/2 cup powdered
sugar into each bag; seal bags. Shake bags until mixture is well coated. Place 1/2 cup chocolate pieces in each
bag; seal bags. Carefully shake to distribute chocolate pieces.
To serve, spoon mixture into ice cream cones, if desired. Store mixture in resealable plastic food bags or container
with tight-fitting lid in refrigerator up to 4 weeks.
*Substitute almond butter or hazelnut-chocolate spread.
TIP: Add more powdered sugar after storage, if needed.
TIP: For longer storage, freeze in container with tight-fitting lid or resealable plastic freezer bags up to 2 months

Thankful Day 8

Today I am thankful for my very dear friend Hetal and her family. They have been such a big part of my life for the past few years. They have almost taken me in and made me a little part of their family. Hetal is a good friend and she will always give you her honest opinion, no matter what. She always helps me to see "the other side of the coin" to make sure I'm making the right choices when I need her advice. She's fun loving, thoughtful, and really one of those friends you always wish you had. Her little son Z, is amazing. He brings, like his mom, so much joy to my life. Just hearing him say my name Sacey (Which has now graduated to Stacey...sniff,sniff) makes my heart smile, so much so, that his mom's ring tone on my phone is him singing happy birthday to me!

Thank you Hetal for your friendship and everything you have done for me. I am thankful for you (and little Z too).

Thankful Day 7

Today, I'm thankful for family. Through thick and thin family is important, family is always there, and family always forgives. I love my family.

Today's seems short and sweet, but family doesn't have to be complicated.
