Memories Shared

Blizzard Bites

I thought I would share the recipe for Blizzard Bites, a snack mix that I made up and gave as gifts. 

This is how I packaged it for gifts.

 

Here is a close up of the actual mix.

 

I have seen this on soooooo many different blogs and I have no idea where it originally originated at so I have no idea who to give credit to, sorry!

Blizzard Bites

1 box Cherios cereal

1 box Rice Chex

1 box Corn Chex

1 box Crispix

1 bag of twisted pretzels

1 bag M&M's

2 cups pecans

6 bags of white chocolate chips (whatever  you need to give a good coating of white chocolate)

Toss all dry ingredients until well mixed.

Melt chocolate in double boiler or in microwave, whichever method you are used to using. If you are using the microwave; Only put the microwave on for about 15 seconds at a time and stir each time to prevent burning. I will take several turns in the microwave until all of your chocolate is melted.

Gently fold in melted white chocolate and mix until all of the cereal is well coated. I covered my kitchen table with parchment paper and laid all the cereal mixture out to dry. Break into small pieces and store in a tightly covered container.

Nuts and Bolts

This recipe is called Nuts and Bolts, donated by my Mother. I made this for Christmas gifts this year for Randy's co-workers. Everyone always seems to enjoy it. I packaged it in a round cocoa container that was covered with decorative papers and a pretty label, naturally I forgot to take the picture. Sorry! That's what happens when you finish gifts at oh, 2 o'clock am! To know me is to love me!!!!!
