Puppy Chow
1 12 oz Box Crispex
6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
6 oz milk chocolate chips
1 stick butter
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3 cups powdered sugar
Mix butter, chocolate chips and peanut butter in a sauce pan over medium heat until melted. Pour melted mixture over cereal in a large bowl and mix until all the cereal is covered in the melted sauce. Add the powdered sugar to a large paper bag, pour in covered cereal, close the bag and shake until all the cereal is covered with the powdered sugar. You may have to separate any cereal that clumps. Pour into a decorative bowl to serve.
Sam’s Spicy Crackers
1 box saltine crackers
1 pkg. dry ranch dip mix
3 tbs. crushed red pepper
1 and 2/3 cup canola oil
Mix oil, ranch mix and pepper in measuring cup or small bowl. Put all crackers in the largest bowl you have. Pour oil mixture over crackers and begin carefully and lightly stirring with hands(being careful not to break crackers) until all crackers are covered. You can serve right away and they’ll be a bit greasy, or put the crackers on paper towels in another bowl for about an hour to dry a bit.
