Monster Munch

Monster Munch! A fun spin on chex mix!! My kids and their friends loved it!

Monster Munch
5 ounces pretzels
2 ½ cups Apple Jax Halloween version
2 ½ cups Corn Chex
2 cups M & M's chocolate candies Halloween edition
2 cups white chocolate chips (12 ounce bag)
1 ½ Tablespoons vegetable oil
Candy eyeballs

In a VERY large bowl (or two medium bowls), combine the first 6 ingredients. Set aside.

In a microwave safe bowl, heat white chips and oil on high for 60 seconds (you could also melt chocolate and oil in a double boiler pan).

Stir and microwave for another 30 seconds and stir until completely melted and smooth (you may need to microwave for a couple more seconds).

Pour melted chocolate over cereal mix and stir until all the cereal is evenly covered with white chocolate.

Spread cereal mix on 2 large baking sheets (I used cookie sheets) lined with wax paper.

Let cool and then break apart into chunks.

Store in an airtight container.

*This time I added Hocus Pocus cereal (it has purple, orange and green cereal and tiny cereal marshmellows)

BEST BLT's

BEST BLT's
10 Slices Sour Dough Bread
2 Tablespoons Butter
1 lb Thick or Thin Sliced Bacon cooked, (preference is thin and use multiple for me as it's easier to eat)
1 Cup Dukes Mayo if possible
2 Cloves Garlic
Pinch Salt
2-3 Fresh Tomatoes beefsteak are best
1 Head Iceberg or Green Leaf Lettuce
Salt and Pepper to taste

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and melt the butter in the pan.
Place each piece of bread face down on the skillet and cook on one side until golden and toasted. Repeat with all the pieces of bread. Set aside.

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and garlic and whisk together.
Slice your tomatoes fairly thick and season well with salt and pepper.
Prepare your lettuce.

Assemble your sandwiches right before serving by spreading the mayo mixture on the untoasted side of all the pieces of bread.

Top one piece of mayo'd bread with several pieces of lettuce, slices of seasoned tomatoes and as much bacon as you want. Then place another piece of mayo'd bread on top (mayo side down of course!) Repeat with all the rest of your bread and ingredients.
