Hi FF - Not sure if this is what you are looking for but everyone loves this mix:

2 cups Crispix
2 cups Cheerios
2 cups small pretzels
2 cups dry roasted peanuts
1-2 cups red and green M&Ms

Melt one pound of white chocolate and pour over other ingredients. Stir well and spread on wax paper to cool.

You can make this during the year using different color M&Ms (Valentines Day, Halloween, Easter.

That looks very close. I remember it was WAY easy. My mom is insisting I make it again. I can find the list where I have it written as one thing I am going to make...but no recipe.

Your's will work!!

Flip, do you mean the powdered sugar coated stuff? I've always heard it called Puppy Chow. This recipe calls for Crispix, but I'm sure Chex would work too (as long as you use the plain kind, not flavored).

/2 cup Peanut Butter
1/4 cup Butter
1 cup Chocolate Chips
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
9 cups Crispix cereal (any flavor)
1-1/2 cups Powdered Sugar

Instructions:

1. Combine peanut butter, butter and chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl.

2. Microwave for one minute then stir to blend all ingredients thoroughly. Add 1/2 tsp. vanilla. Stir well.

3. Place the 9 cups of Crispix cereal in a very large bowl.

4. Pour the peanut butter-chocolate mixture over the cereal and toss evenly, making sure all the cereal gets a good covering.

5. Coat with powdered sugar, sprinkling evenly over the cereal and tossing as you sprinkle to cover each piece well.

It definitely involved melted white chocolate chips. That is the extent of my memory. Looks like I have some good options though! Thanks!!

Flip - my local "gourmet" market sells kettlecorn mixed with almonds and drizzled with both white and brown chocolate. It's called "Zebra" I think. To die for!
