Churro Chex Mix

 Alright I have missed A LOT of time with blogging.  And it has been on my mind A LOT to get back into it....but seriously, I need to add about 4 hours to most of my days to have the time.  But today I absolutely had to share this recipe.  I was inspired by a recipe on Pinterest (My newest, most favorite addiction.  I just wish the mobile app worked better.) for churro style chex mix.  The recipe and post was some what incomplete, after several Google searches I didn't come up with anything and I started experimenting.  This makes an amazing batch of cinnamon and sugar style chex mix that is all covered in powered sugar yummy-ness!  I am going to DARE you right now, to stop eating it before its all gone. 

Start with boxes of whatever style of unflavored cereal you prefer.  I went corn chex, crispix, and cheerios.  The generic version anyways.  Because lets face it, its really only a mode of transportation anyhow.  (You could also go with only corn chex, if you'd like to remove that source of gluten). Add the cereal to the biggest mixing bowl you have.

Then melt together cinnamon chips, butter, and peanut butter (Not yet added in this picture) in the microwave.  It took about 1 minute in mine. I tried it without the peanut butter and it is absolutely vital to use.  Otherwise the chips/butter combo was lumpy and didn't spread well over the cereal.

 Once its melted and mixed together, add a teaspoon of vanilla and mix well.  Then poor all over your cereals and mix that baby up!!!  Two big spoons or spatulas work great!!

 After the cereal is well coated, sprinkle, ok douse, your cereal in a combo of powdered sugar, evaporated cane juice, and cinnamon.  Mix well and spread out on waxed paper to cool.  Store in an airtight container.
