Monkey Munch (or sometimes called Puppy Chow) has been a long time favorite kids treat made from Chex cereal.
It has more recently became popular from the show Jon and Kate Plus 8 where Kate regularly makes up the Monkey Munch mix for the toddlers.
Monkey Munch contains peanut butter so it should only be served to a child with no peanut allergies. This is also a treat that should probably be only served to an older toddler.
Monkey Munch Ingredients:
9 cups Corn Chex®, Rice Chex®, Wheat 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
