new favorite snack . . .

. . . that makes you gain 10 pounds every time you eat it!

My friend made this recipe recently and I fell in love with it. Roger is leaving tomorrow for a week and I made some for him to take a long (along with a little extra for us)!

It’s a recipe out of our new church cookbook . . . love all the new recipes. I love to sit and read cook books! Here is the recipe for Derrick’s Killer Mix . . .

2 box Crispix cereal, 1 lb butter, 3 c dark brown sugar, 1 1/2 tsp vanilla, 2 tsp soda, 3/4 c white syrup, M&M’s, cashews

In a big pot, bring to a boil the butter, brown sugar, and white syrup. Take off the heat and then add the vanilla and soda; stir well. Pour the 2 boxes of Crispix in a big brown paper bag. Pour the butter mixture over the Crispix. Stir it up with a long wooden spoon. Fold bag over. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Take bag out and stir up the mix. Microwave on high for 2 more minutes; take out and stir. Do this for 2 additional times. You should have microwaved it for a total of 4 times and 8 minutes. Empty the bag onto the counter to cool. Add M&M’s and cashews and put into a container to keep fresh.
