If you watch the tv show Jon & Kate Plus 8 on TLC, you know what monkey munch is ;). If not, this is a snack that both the kids and parents just love. Here’s the recipe for it:

Monkey Munch

9 cups Chex cereal (any variety)
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

Stove Method Directions:

  • Measure cereal into a large bowl & set aside.
  • Heat chocolate chips, peanut butter and the butter over low heat until melted. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
  • Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal and stir until evenly coated.
  • Pour the mix into a 2 gallon ziploc bag and add powdered sugar, seal bag.
  • Shake bag until everything’s well coated then spread the mix on waxed paper to cool.
  • Refrigerate in an airtight container.

Microwave Method Directions:

  • Place the chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter in a microwaveable bowl and melt uncovered on High for 1 minute. Stir.
  • Microwave for another 30 seconds or until mixture is stirred smooth.
  • Stir in the vanilla.
  • Follow the rest of the directions as above in the Stove Method.

You can also find the recipe on the Chex website here.

By the way, I totally love this on the Discovery/TLC website for the Jon & Kate show:

  • Chase 8 kids for 15 minutes putting on 56 pieces of clothing.
  • Cook 16 pancakes
  • Clean 80 sticky fingers
  • Do 5 loads of laundry
  • Make 8 trips to the potty
  • Congratulations, you just got through breakfast.

Can you imagine! LOL!
