Chex Muddy Buddies

Ingredients:

9 c Rice Chex cereal
1 c Enjoy Life chocolate chips
1/2 c sunflower seed butter
1/4 spectrum shortening
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 c powdered sugar

1. Into large bowl, measure cereal; set aside.

2. In 1 quart microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips, sunflower seed butter and shortening uncovered on High 1 minute; stir. Microwave about 30 seconds longer or until mixture can be stirred smooth. Stir in vanilla. Pour mixture over cereal, stirring evenly until coated. Pour into 2 gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag.

3. Add powdered sugar. Seal bag; shake until well coated. Spread on waxed paper to cool. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.

The point of this recipe is to show how easy it is to make things allergy friendly. This recipe is gluten, dairy and nut free. Of course you can substitute any of these ingredients out for a less allergen friendly food. As for using a 2 gallon bag, what a laugh! I don't know anyone with one. What I did and I suggest you do is shake the Muddy Buddies in a gallon ziploc in two batches with 3/4 c powdered sugar each. This is a great lunch box treat, especially if one of your child's classmates has a nut allergy. Enjoy!
