tasty tuesday!

Our Lives In a Nutshell

So........it's tasty tuesday! For the full Tasty Tuesday experience, check out Lindsay's blog. My contribution this week is actually stolen from my mom, but I don't think she'll mind:)...

Frosty's Chex Mix

Ingredients:

  • 1 package of Almond Bark (or more, depending on how much of the below you use)
  • Rice Chex
  • Corn Chex
  • Dry Roasted Peanuts
  • Stick Pretzels
  • Cheerios
  • M&Ms

Directions:

  • Mix the non-almond bark ingredients together in a big bowl (in whatever amounts you like)
  • Melt the almond bark and pour over the other ingredients, stir to coat.
  • Pour onto cookie sheet or pan and cool in the fridge for a couple hours, then break apart and store.

This past Saturday, I made this with my mom & peg when we got together to make Christmas cookies...now, we hired my dad to be our photographer, and although he thinks he's a pro, if pressed he will probably admit that he has more fun pretending to be one and being...um..unconventional in his photo-taking style. :) check it out for yourself...

hey, maybe next time we will hire a professional photographer, like Laura Lu. :) It was a lot of fun. too bad SOMEONE has to eat the cookies now. If only they didn't have any calories!!! Of course, then they wouldn't be as good.
