We went this week to the Taste of Home Cooking Show and really enjoyed it. A home economist makes several dishes onstage while we follow along and enjoy watching. I do lead the exiting life, no doubt about it. They always give away all the food and a bunch of door prizes though I've been several times over the years and have never won anything. The big prizes this year were a dining room set from Dillards and a $2400 Electrolux stove. It looked extremely cool but sadly went home with someone else. Maybe next year...
But this sounded like the best recipe, which in my eyes is quick, easy and full of chocolate.
8 Cups of Chocolate Chex Cereal
3/4 Cup packed brown sugar
6 Tablespoons of butter
3 Tablespoons of light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup vanilla or white chocolate chips
Place cereal in a large microwave safe bowl and set aside. Line a baking sheet with wax paper.
In a 2 cup microwave safe measuring cup, microwave brown sugar, butter & corn syrup high for 1 minute. Stir and mirowave 30-60 seconds longer, stir til blended. Stir in baking soda til disolved. Pour over cereal and stir til evenly coated.
Microwave on high for 3 minutes, stopping to stir every minute. Spread on baking sheet and cool 10 minutes. Break into pieces.
In a small microwave safe bowl, melt vanilla chips and stir til smooth. Drizzle over cereal mixture. Refrigerate til set and store in airtight container.
This is Billie: I'm thinking a some mixed nuts stirred into the cereal at the beginning sounds good and almond bark is cheaper and smoother and easier to work with for the drizzle. It can be quickly microwaved but it has to be watched because it does not appear to be melting so it needs to be stirred every 30 seconds or so. And I think this sounds darn yummy.
