White Trash / Trailer Trash
"A Kitchen Daddio variation on a holiday favorite. Easy to make; easy to clean! And kids love it! Parents, try letting your kids make it themselves (with your supervision of course!).
Update 12/26/06: Hat tip to "Kat's Mom" for catching a major typo! No, it should NOT have been 60 oz. of chocolate chips. It should be 16 oz!!! Try this one again, and I promise you'll enjoy it, or I'll refund you the ingredients."

love this snack. it's so easy, too! i usually make mine with chex, but this is tasty with golden grahams cereal, too. -
The only size box of Rice Chex available here is 15.6 ounce. I cannot imagine making this with 60 ounces of chocolate chips. Is that right? I used a 24 ounce bag and that was too much. Be careful when melting the butter, peanut butter and chocolate chips as the chocolate can scorch on the bottom before the top is even melted. Two pieces of advice: 1) Only serve this outdoors unless you want to ruin your rugs. 2) Use a huge container. I used my largest cooking pot and still was unable to stir this properly. The cereal just disintegrated. Sorry Daddio, I really wanted this to work, but it just made a sickly sweet mess.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Kitchen Daddio is a forum for parents, especially all the Dads out there, who love to cook for their families and enjoy spending time together in the kitchen.
For me, life is all about family, food, and fun! And there's no other room in the house that draws people closer than the kitchen. I remember spending hours in the kitchen with my "Granny" as she labored over the stove cooking good, old, southern comfort foods. Most of what I learned in the kitchen, I can thank my "Granny" for. The rest I chalk up to my own personal experiences in and out of the kitchen, the late Justin Wilson and his infamous T.V. show "Louisianna Cookin'," and a few other favorite chefs like Rachael Ray, Alton Brown, Dante Stephensen, and Joel Antunes.
Almost every day I find a new recipe, create a new recipe, or learn a new way to cook something, and this forum is simply my way of sharing that passion with the world.
