Almond Bark Chex Mix

Chex mix, trail mix, call it what you will, is always better when coated with some sugary substance.  This is a simple snack that can be made whenever and is appropriate for any occasion.  Essentially all you have to be able to do make this recipe is measure things out and melt almond bark.  Simple.

Ingredients

1 lb of white almond bark (1 package)

1 10 - 12oz bag of pretzels sticks

1 2 lb bag of M&M's

5 cups of Chex Cereal

5 cups of Plain Cheerios

Instructions

1.  Measure out all the dry ingredients into the biggest bowl you can find.

2.  Set out wax paper on the counter for later.

3.  Microwave the almond bark for one minute the first time, then in 15 to 30 second intervals after.  When you stir the almond bark, use a metal spoon.

4.  After the almond bark is smooth, pour it over the dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until everything is coated evenly.

5.  Spread the mix out over the wax paper to set.

I have one major tip for this recipe: whatever you do, DO NOT POUR EXTRA ALMOND BARK DOWN THE SINK! It will harden up in the drain and it takes forever to melt/break it all to clear up the drain.  Another, less important, tip is to definitely use pretzel sticks.  If you use the regular loopy ones then the M&M's and such will get stuck in the holes of the pretzel.

Also, this recipe is not set in stone, it can be changed to fit your tastes if you so choose.

Enjoy!!
