A new year means a whole year of family gatherings, friend get-togethers and parties for the kids. Well, thanks to General Mills' crunchy Chex products, you can have yummy yet healthy, whole grain centered snacks that will have all your guests reaching out for one serving after the other!


Need a little inspiration?
Hop on over to the Chex Party Mix Recipe site to whip up quick bowls of deliciousness! Most of the recipes can be made in the microwave in just 15 minutes and call for ingredients that you will find lying around in the pantry.

Take for instance this recipe for Chex Muddy Buddies.


Ingredients

9 cups Rice Chex, Corn Chex or Chocolate Chex cereal (or combination)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar


Preparation Directions

1. Into large bowl, measure cereal; set aside.
2. In 1-quart microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter uncovered on High 1 minute; stir. Microwave about 30 seconds longer or until mixture can be stirred smooth. Stir in vanilla. Pour mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated. Pour into 2-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag.
3. Add powdered sugar. Seal bag; shake until well coated. Spread on waxed paper to cool. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.

Substitution

Peanut butter and chocolate are a favorite flavor combo, but peanut butter lovers can substitute peanut butter chips for the chocolate chips to intensify that flavor.

Now isn't this easy?
I know I will be considering this for Bunny girl's next school party. I'm sure it will be a preschooler party snack winner!
