RECIPE and a Giveaway: Chex Party Mix

MyBlogSpark contacted me about a giveaway for Chex Party Mix, I couldn't refuse!

They sent me some great recipes to choose from, but in the end I decided to search their site for the Chex Muddy Buddies recipe.  I've heard this called "White Trash" and "Puppy Chow".  I've always wanted to make this and never tried it before.

Here's what we did:

Chex Muddy Buddies (courtesy of Chex)
3/4 cup butterscotch chips
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
9 cups Chex cereal (we used Rice Chex)
1-1/2 cup powdered sugar

In large microwaveable bowl, add butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter.  Microwave on high for 1 minute.

Remove and stir.  Return to microwave and cook on high for 30 seconds.  Remove and stir until creamy.  The butterscotch chips didn't melt all the way, but it worked fine.  Add vanilla extract and stir until combined.


Measure 9 cups of Rice Chex mix into the melted mixture and stir until coated.

In a large paper bag, pour the powdered sugar and then pour the Rice Chex coated mixture into the bag.

Close the top and and toss and shake until well coated.  Pour into a container and cool completely.

We measured out about 2 cups per 5 take out containers.  We loved it!  So yummy!

Now here's the best part!  You can have your own Chex Party Mix.  MyBlogSpark and Chex are going to send you 2 kinds of Chex cereal, 5 recipes cards to make various kinds of Chex Party Mix, 10 takeout containers and a $20 gift card to purchase the needed ingredients and decorating supplies.

If you are into Cookie Swapping, why not change it up this year and do a Chex Party Mix Swap?  How fun would that be to have a big group of friends bring their favorite kind of Chex Party Mix and swap with everyone?

This giveaway will end Sunday December 18, 2011 at 6:00 p.m. EST.  The winner will be chosen by Random.org and will be notified via email.  

AND THE WINNER IS:  #22 Brandy Stout.  Brandy has been notified.

Kids will love finding their favorite friends, like Dora the Explorer, Lightning McQueen from the hit movie “Cars” and the Disney Princesses, on every cup.

Yoplait Kids has also partnered with well-known mom-blogger, Christine Coppa, Mama's Boy blogger at parenting.com and author of Rattled! (Broadway Books, 2009), who has developed helpful snacking tips for moms with young children including:

GIVEAWAY: MultiGrain Cheerios and The Biggest Loser Club

I was really excited to accept this giveaway opportunity from My Blog Spark and General Mills.  First of all, I love Cheerios.  They're an easy breakfast or snack option for the me and kiddos.  You know we love our cereal anyway, so this opportunity was a no-brainer for me!  Second of all, I love The Biggest Loser and I'm always inspired by the journey of the contestants.  This season is no exception.

Here's the information provided by My Blog Spark and General Mills:

It can be a challenge, but this year MultiGrain Cheerios® cereal and The Biggest Loser Club® can help you get started on your weight management goals with a free 7-day plan.
With tips, advice, and inspiration, the MultiGrain Cheerios website can help you start your weight management journey. After entering the code found inside specially marked boxes of MultiGrain Cheerios cereal, you can access exclusive tools, including:

• A Body Mass Index (BMI) calculator to gauge how much weight you may need to lose or gain to be considered healthy and not at risk for serious health problems

• An exclusive 7 Day Plan that pairs daily meal plans with cardio and strength-training routines

• 15 tasty recipes that will give your body the fuel it needs to get through the day

• Daily workouts that couple cardio with mobility and resistance exercises to hit major muscle groups

Along with using the online tools, eating MultiGrain Cheerios cereal in the morning is another simple step you can take toward helping to manage weight. Studies have shown that people who eat more whole grain tend to have healthier body weights, and with 110 lightly sweetened calories per serving, MultiGrain Cheerios has more than 16 grams of whole grain per serving (48 g recommended daily) to help keep you on track for a healthier you this New Year!

I've already received my package in the mail last week and we've been eating MultiGrain Cheerios since then.  It's slightly sweet so I don't have to sweeten it with honey for the kids.  I also had a banana to our bowl for a more satisfying breakfast.  Boo-Boo carried around the box in the living room, literally eating the cereal by the handfuls as a little snack after lunch.  It's really good and we love it. 

Would you like to try it for FREE?  How about some great gym accessories?
