{ Pantry Accessories and a Yummy Recipe }

August 30, 2012 by Fotini Filed Under: dollar corner, organzing, pantry accessories, puppy chow, recipe-1, recipes, sweet treat, Target 18 Comments

I just can’t stay away from the dollar corner at Target, it’s dangerous, haha! Today I got six small natural box crates for my pantry $1 each, alphabet stamps $1ย and alphabet stickers $1. I have lots of odds and ends in my pantry floating around, so I figured these little storage containers would be perfect! I already had stamp ink at home in silver, so I stamped each container depending on its’ contents. So far I have, candy, oatmeal, and misc. I have three leftover for when I organize my pantry ( I plan on doing this soon!!). Here’s how it looks!

Speaking of dangerous, here’s a recipe I remember so well from my childhood… Puppy chow. My Nana used to make it in the summer’s for us to munch on, and I haven’t had it since. I had all the ingredients for it, so I got the urge to give it a try!

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 9 cups rice cereal (Chex)
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup chocolate chips ( I used 3 Hersey’s bars because that’s what I had!)
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • large gallon zip-lock bag

Start off by adding the butter, peanut butter and chocolate to a microwave safe bowl and microwave for one minute. Once melted, add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and mix well. Add your 9 cups of rice cereal to the mixture and stir until cereal is completely coated. Put your 3 cups of powdered sugar in a gallon zip-lock bag, add cereal mixture, and shake, shake, shake!! That’s it….Tastes just like I remember, yummy!

    Good day! Do you know if they make any plugins to help
    with SEO? I’m trying to get my website to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m
    not seeing very good results. If you know of any please share.
