Trash is one of the treats that we were able to make in a class called Family Relations. It was a little messy, but fun to make. Just make sure that yours doesn't turn out looking like shredded mini wheats.

Here's what you need:


1/2 stick margarine

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 large box Chex cereal (about 8 cups)

1-1/2 cups confectioner's sugar

Put margarine, chocolate chips, and peanut butter in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high for two minutes. Stir until well blended. Pour over Chex cereal in a large bowl, coating cereal well. Put 3/4 cup of confectioner's sugar in clean garbage bag. Add coated cereal to bag. Add 3/4 cup more of confectioner's sugar. Close bag tightly and carefully roll cereal in bag to coat with sugar. And...you've just made Trash! You can eat it right out of the bag or place it in a nice decorated jar. It makes great gifts for an office of people or for the kids to eat at a party.
