Pair my need for chocolate covered anything with our economy sized double-box of Cheerios and my XOXO Mix was born...er, made...mixed into existence!
It's simple and prrretty darn delicious.
Chocolate Covered Xs and Os -- XOXO Mix
Ingredients:
- 1 cup toasted oat cereal (Cheerios)
- 1 cup chow mein noodles
- 1/3 cup shredded coconut
- 1/3 cup raw almonds, roughly chopped
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 2/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 3 Tbs. unsalted butter
- Kosher salt
In a microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter, making sure to stir every 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and shiny (about 1-1.5 minutes).
Drizzle the melted chocolate onto the cereal mixture and toss to coat. Pour the mix onto a parchment lined sheet pan and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle with a little salt and let sit until the chocolate has set. Break into pieces and store in ziplock bags or airtight containers.
oh YUM! this looks fabulous. and seriously, who doesn't like *anything* drenched in chocolate? thanks for sharing! :)
