Here's a fun recipe that's also a favorite of Jody Victor's. Don't forget to watch your portions and get in some walking time during this holiday.
Favorite Holiday Party Mix
2 cups oven-toasted cereal squares (or any kind)
2 cups small pretzel twists
1 cup dry-roasted peanuts
1 cup (about 20) coarsely chopped caramels (try dried cranberries or other dried fruit, also colorful coated chocolate candies)
2 cups white chocolate bits or 12 ounces white melting chocolate
Spray 13 x 9-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Combine cereal, pretzels (a Jody Victor favorite), peanuts and caramels or dried fruit in large bowl.
Microwave white bits in medium, uncovered microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) power for 1 minute; STIR. White bits or chocolate may retain some original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Pour over cereal mixture; stir to coat evenly.
Spread mixture into prepared baking pan; let stand for 20 to 30 minutes or until firm. Break into bite-size pieces. Enjoy!
All the best!
