Dog food

Have you ever had this stuff? Have you ever read such a preposterous recipe in your life?

• Ingredients:
  5 cups Chex cereal
  2 cups pretzel sticks, broken in half
  1/2 cup butter or margarine
  1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  1 bag (11.5 oz) milk chocolate chips (2 cups)
  1 cup powdered sugar
  1 cup M&Ms
  
• Directions:
  1. Cover 2 cookie sheets with waxed paper. In very large bowl, mix cereal and pretzels.
  2. In medium microwavable bowl, microwave butter, peanut butter and chocolate chips uncovered on High 45 seconds; stir. Microwave 15 to 45 seconds longer or until mixture can be stirred smooth. Immediately pour over cereal mixture, stirring until evenly coated. Spread evenly on cookie sheets. Refrigerate uncovered about 20 minutes or until set.
  3. Break into bite-size pieces. Divide mixture evenly into 2 resealable 1-gallon food-storage plastic bags. Add 1/2 cup powdered sugar to each bag. Seal and shake each bag until well coated. Add 1/2 cup M&Ms to each bag. Seal and gently shake each bag to mix. Store in sealed bags in refrigerator up to 4 weeks.

Well, it's delicious. I was scrounging around the kitchen last night, trying to find something, anything, to dip in my nutella. We had a box of Chex, and so I used that. I reminisced about my younger years, when I couldn't cook (still can't) but was able to throw together this delicious concoction, which I fondly referred to as dog food. I am in such a state now, wanting to make myself some dog food, but being too tied up with school and work. Must....have....dog food.
