EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

One cup miniature semisweet candy-coated chocolate candies for baking can be substituted for the chocolate chips.

Several brands of candy coating are available, and each may melt a bit differently. The white color varies, and when melted, some are thinner than others. Make a note of the brand you prefer to work with, and watch carefully while melting.

So yummy! And very easy. The only thing I changed was, I used milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet!!! And the suggestion to use a big bowl...THANK YOU! You need a big one for this!

This was another Betty Crocker hit at my home. This was simple to make and easy on the pocket book as well. I made this, put it in cute Christmas tins and gave it as a present to those that other wise I would not have been able to afford presents for.

OMG!!! Great stuff! I didn't have the peanuts and just added more of the cereal, marshmallows and pretzels. Make sure you have a BIG bowl to mix it, I used my largest and could have used an even bigger one! I may use a large Tupperware to mix it next time. I will defintely be making this again and again! WOW!
