Monkey munch. \u00a0Puppy chow. \u00a0Muddy buddies. \u00a0I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re used to calling this phenomenal can\u2019t-stop-eating-this mixture of Chex cereal, chocolate and (usually) peanut butter. \u00a0Whatever you call it, it\u2019s good. \u00a0I remember the first time my lil sis made this for me, I literally could not stop eating it by the handful (thanks, Rach!). \u00a0This is one of those things you can snack on at any time of day, and it\u2019s a great treat to share with friends, so it\u2019s especially good for a movie night. \u00a0Which means it\u2019s perfect for Oscar Night! (By the way, have you printed out your Oscar ballot<\/a>? \u00a0Go Argo!!)<\/p>\n

Although the beloved chocolate-peanut butter combination is always welcome at our house, for this recipe I decided to change things up a bit and use flavors from everyone\u2019s favorite multi-layered cookie: magic bars. \u00a0You know, crushed graham cracker topped with sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and shredded coconut. \u00a0Who doesn\u2019t love that?!<\/p>\n

So I combined these two classic desserts to create a perfectly sweet mix of Chex cereal, chocolate, butterscotch and coconut, all coated with powdered sugar. \u00a0Easy to make, and definitely easy to eat\u2026<\/p>\n

Magic bars + monkey munch = the perfect movie (or Oscar) night treat!<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 10 cups Chex corn cereal<\/li>\n
  • 3 cups chocolate chips, divided<\/li>\n
  • 2 cups butterscotch chips<\/li>\n
  • 2 cups shredded coconut<\/li>\n
  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk<\/li>\n
  • 4 tablespoons butter, cubed<\/li>\n
  • 4 cups powdered sugar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Instructions:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Line a baking sheet with wax paper, and set aside.<\/li>\n
    • In a very large bowl, gently mix together the Chex cereal, 2 cups of chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and shredded coconut. \u00a0Set aside.<\/li>\n
    • Place the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. \u00a0Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for another minute. Stir until the chocolate and butter have melted completely.<\/li>\n
    • Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal mix, and use a large spoon or spatula to mix the sauce and cereal mix together until the cereal is coated with the chocolate sauce.<\/li>\n
    • Once the Chex mix is coated, divide the cereal between two large plastic freezer bags. Pour 2 cups of powdered sugar into one of the bags, seal it, and shake the bag until the monkey munch mix has been covered in powdered sugar. Pour the monkey munch out onto the wax paper-lined baking sheet, and repeat with the other bag.<\/li>\n
    • Let cool for half an hour, then store in the refrigerator before enjoying!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
