urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:tiedtoanight my ramblings Sara 2009-08-05T13:06:15Z urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:tiedtoanight:241268 2009-08-05T13:06:15Z 2009-08-05T13:06:15Z I decided to try my hand at making Puppy Chow (this goes by different names but it's what I've always known it as...) Anyway! Here's what I did:<br /><br /><a name="cutid1"></a><center><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v139/saraek/food/101_1595.jpg" width="320" height="240"></center><br /><br />1 Box (10 cups) of Chex or Crispix (Any flavor)<br />1 cup semisweet chocolate chips<br />1/2 cup peanut butter<br />1/4 cup butter or margarine<br />1 teaspoon vanilla<br />1 1/2 cups powdered sugar<br /><br /> <br /><center><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v139/saraek/food/101_1596.jpg" width="320" height="240"></center><br /><br />1. Into large bowl, measure cereal; set aside.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v139/saraek/food/101_1597.jpg" width="320" height="240"></center><br /><br />2. In 1-quart microwavable bowl, stir together chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter. Microwave 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.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v139/saraek/food/101_1599.jpg" width="320" height="240"></center><br /><br />3. Add powdered sugar. Seal bag; shake until well coated. Spread on waxed paper to cool. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v139/saraek/food/101_1600.jpg" width="320" height="240"></center><br /><br />I think it came out okay. Vince seems to really like it! I may need to have the chocolate mix melt a bit more before adding it to the cereal. It starts to thicken really quick, which made it a bit more difficult to stir it into the cereal without the cereal breaking. So next time I'll make sure it's a lot smoother, and thinner, before adding it.<br /><br />Oooh and yes I have a new LJ for my cooking attempts... <span class='ljuser ljuser-name_saracancook' lj:user='saracancook' style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='http://saracancook.livejournal.com/profile'><img src='http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='http://saracancook.livejournal.com/'><b>saracancook</b></a></span> (ha, but not really). urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:tiedtoanight:238536 2009-06-22T08:04:00Z 2009-06-22T08:04:00Z <ul class="loudtwitter"><li><em>18:30</em> is deciding which ice cream to get <a href="http://twitter.com/tiedtoanight/statuses/2270828975">#</a></li> <li><em>19:10</em> Is thinking of taking a nap after being in the hot freaking sun <a href="http://twitter.com/tiedtoanight/statuses/2271232687">#</a></li></ul>Automatically shipped by <a href="http://www.loudtwitter.com">LoudTwitter</a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:tiedtoanight:238202 2009-06-19T08:03:33Z 2009-06-19T08:03:33Z <ul class="loudtwitter"><br /> <li><em>14:29</em> to tweet or not to tweet... <a href="http://twitter.com/tiedtoanight/statuses/2226064021">#</a></li><br /></ul>Automatically shipped by <a href="http://www.loudtwitter.com">LoudTwitter</a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:tiedtoanight:237865 2009-06-18T08:05:03Z 2009-06-18T08:05:03Z <ul class="loudtwitter"><br /> <li><em>09:07</em> by Sara math, there is 2 days left until vacation. eeps. <a href="http://twitter.com/tiedtoanight/statuses/2206171405">#</a></li><br /></ul>Automatically shipped by <a href="http://www.loudtwitter.com">LoudTwitter</a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:tiedtoanight:237783 2009-06-17T08:04:02Z 2009-06-17T08:04:02Z <ul class="loudtwitter"><li><em>09:55</em> <a href="http://bit.ly/yJg3a">bit.ly/yJg3a</a><br /> - Eric is the best. <a href="http://twitter.com/tiedtoanight/statuses/2192367876">#</a></li> <li><em>10:00</em> 3 more days before vacay. so excited. gah. <a href="http://twitter.com/tiedtoanight/statuses/2192414528">#</a></li> <li><em>12:59</em> damn straight - <a href="http://bit.ly/15mLVy">bit.ly/15mLVy</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/tiedtoanight/statuses/2194587153">#</a></li></ul>Automatically shipped by <a href="http://www.loudtwitter.com">LoudTwitter</a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:tiedtoanight:237103 2009-06-15T08:03:56Z 2009-06-15T08:03:56Z <ul class="loudtwitter"><li><em>18:51</em> is so happy her hubby painted the kitchen while she was gone. what a nice surprise!
