CIRCUS MIX

CIRCUS MIX This is a fun recipe for the kiddies to get involved in, and a little imagination goes a long way with this mix: from animal crackers, Fruit Loops, popcorn....colorful sprinkles for the vanilla coating on the animal crackers--you name it! 1 bag microwave popcorn 10 oz. package of pretzels 1 package of M&M's ( like medium bag-not largest) Cheerios or Fruit Loop type cereal Chex cereal (mix and match) or Bugles for a saltier taste. 1 can salted peanuts, or other salted nuts 2 bags vanilla chips or chocolate chips 3 Tablespoons oil (*Note: This does not need to coat every piece, and you may want to only coat selected snack pieces, so you may want to leave part of the items out until after coating with melted chocolate.) Mix all but the chocolate or vanilla chips in a large bowl. Melt vanilla chips and oil in microwave--about 2 minutes; stir--if not melted add a few seconds more in the microwave. Pour melted chocolate over mixture to coat. . Lay on cookie sheet to dry. Break in pieces and store in zip lock bag or recycled ice cream tub.
