White Witch Mix

This recipe is a Betty Crocker/Pillsbury mix with a little Dyer thrown in there. It has a lot of room for creativity and I am pretty sure a few candy corns would make it even better!



Ingredients:
- A bag of white chocolate chips
- 3 cups Corn Chex cereal
- 3 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 3 cups Wheat Chex cereal
- 2 cups salted dry-roasted peanuts
- 2 cups small pretzel twists
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 bag of peanut-butter filled M&Ms
- Whatever else you think would be tasty


First: In a large bowl, mix cereals, peanuts, pretzels, marshmallows and M&Ms. Set aside.



Second: In a medium bowl, microwave white chocolate chips on high for 1 1/2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until chocolate is melted and smooth.

Third: Quickly pour white chocolate over the cereal mixture and gently mix using a rubber spatula until evenly coated. (I found it was easier to mix this by putting an equally large bowl over the bowl with the cereal and just shaking it all up!)

Fourth: Spread the cereal mixture on waxed paper to cool. Break into chunks once cool.


This recipe is super fun to put into little gifts bags and give to people (as the recipe makes enough to last you about 3 years)

Cinnamon Apple Crisp


Here is a recipe by Betty Crocker for Cinnamon Apple Crisp
Intro the fall baking extravaganza! 

Ingredients:

- 4 baking apples chopped/slices
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 egg
- Ice cream (this ingredient is not optional)

First: heat oven to 350.

Second: Peel, core, and slice or chop all apples and arrange in an ungreased 8x8x2 square dish.


Third: Mix remaining ingredients (except ice cream) in a medium bowl until crumbly and sprinkle over apples. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until apples are soft.

Fourth: Serve warm with ice cream!


My husband doesn't like baked apples but scarfed down a helping of the dessert with a "mmm this is so good"... so that has to be worth somethin!
