Trick or Treat???
It's not Halloween, I know! But, in being desperate for a treat the other day, and feeling that eating one in front of the kids would be mean, I came up with a chocolatey, peanut buttery treat that is kind of a trick! Not sure what to call it, but it resembles the Chex Muddy Buddy stuff. I certainly am not endorsed by anyone, nor do I enjoy that Chex use a chemical preservative, however, the kids love them and they otherwise have decent food ingredients. They can also be Gluten free if needed.
9 cups of cereal (i seriously used up everything we had that the kids won't eat!)
1 cup of oats
3/4 cup of peanut butter
1 cup (or a teech more, unless you're me and ate a handful, then two teeches more) chocolate chips (Ghiradelli semi sweet are the only milk free that are real chocolate and not hideous)
2ish Tablespoons of Earth Balance (or butter)
and about 3/4 cup of ground flax seed (always a trick!)
put cereal and oats into a big bowl
melt the chocolate with the p butter and EB in the micro for maybe a minute, stir until melted.
dump over the cereal and stir well! and taste a few to make sure they are mixing ok, and then lick the spoon bc you found a particularly buttery spot.
put all in a big ziplock with the flax, and for the love of GOD don't forget to completely zip the bag! (seriously! not a joke!). Check bag again, shake up until flax is evenly distributed. Dump onto wax paper and let set. Or, just eat like i did.
In hindsight, per usual, my children eat hardly anything sweet. Not sure how they got those genes, but probably a good thing for their jeans!
