Well I'm at Grandpa's house again. Sport and I thought we'd meet up with Aunt Julie and hang out at Grandpas. Little did we know, we were going to be driving through a blizzard. We did slide off the road into a ditch, for a short detour, but some very helpful gentlemens (get this, an Amish guy, 2 African Americans, and 1 Camo-wearing Redneck) helped tow us out. They were so friendly!
anyway, as you know, Grandpa is all about Food. he LOVES to eat. And so, here is one of the recipes from this trip;
Chocolate Zebra Clusters (from tasteofhome.com/healthycooking)
Ingredients:
2 cups (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
12 oz white candy coating divided(or white chocolate)
1 1/4 cups salted peanuts
1 1/4 cups crisp rice cereal
2 1/4 cups mini-marshmellows
1 tsp shortening
Directions:
1) Line 2 baking sheets with waxed paper; set aside. In a microwave, melt chips and 7oz of the white candy coating (or white chocolate) at 70% power; stir until smooth.
2) Stir in peanuts and cereal. Cool slightly; fold in marshmellows. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets.
3) In microwave, melt shortening and remaining candy coating (or white chocolate); stir until smooth. Transfer to a pastry or plastic bag; cut small hole in corner of bag. Drizzle over clusters (aka the Zebra stripes). Refrigerate for 5 mins or until set. Store in an airtight container.
