I have been feverishly trying to get all of the Valentine Treats ready for my daughters school Valentines party at 1:30. I made these super cute Nestle Valentine cookies that she insisted she had to have and one of our favorite party snacks... Monkey Munch. If you were one of the crazy people who used to watch Jon and Kate plus 8 ( I know.. I know... I cant believe I was one of those crazy people), Kate used to make it for her kids. It is really good. Here is the recipe...

• 9 cups Chex Cereal (any kind)
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted (6oz.)
• 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter, melted
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1-2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• Large bowl
• Large Ziplock baggie (gallon size)

1. Pour the cereal into a large bowl.
2. Combine chocolate chips, butter, and peanut butter into a measuring cup.
3. Microwave the measuring cup full of ingredients in the microwave for 30 seconds.
4. Add vanilla to ingredients in the measuring cup, and stir.
5. Pour melted mixture over the Chex mix.
6. Pour the coated cereal mixture into the large Ziplock baggie.
7. Add powdered sugar into the baggie.
8. Shake until the mixture is evenly coated with the powdered sugar.
9. Spread the mixture onto wax paper and allow to cool.
10. Store in Ziplock bags or covered bowls.
