Neighbor gifts

I wanted to share this cute neighbor gift idea with you! I just made some Chex muddy buddies and put them in glassine bags. Then I printed this cute poem and tied it with bakers twine.



Here is the poem. Feel free to save it to your computer for printing. I printed mine onto watercolor paper.

Here's the recipe for you! Enjoy!
9 cups Corn
Chex, Rice Chex, Wheat Chex or Chocolate Chex cereal (or combination)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1.Into large bowl, measure cereal; set aside.
2.In 1-quart microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter 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 until evenly 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.
