Muddy Buddies (Puppy Chow)

8 cups of Rice Cereal squares (Chex)
2 cup of raisins
1-1/2 cups chocolate chips
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup butter or margarine
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar




In a medium microwavable bowl, add chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter. Microwave on High for 1 minute and stir. Microwave 30 seconds longer and stir mixture until smooth. Stir in vanilla. In a bowl, pour melted chocolate over cereal and raisins, stir to evenly coat. Now, I use a bowl that has a lid, but you can use a zip lock bag, spoon mixture into bowl (you can do a little at a time if you want), add the powder sugar, put the lid on and shake until everything is evenly coated.

Fried Ice Cream

Yes, you read that title right, fried as in oil, ice cream. It's a lot easier that it sounds.
Oil to fry the ice cream in
Vanilla ice-cream
1 cup crushed frosted (or just corn) flakes
1 tbs sugar (or 2 tbs is using corn flakes)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 eggs
Mix together the cereal, sugar and cinnamon. Scoop out two large scoops of the ice cream, quickly roll each ice cream ball in the cereal mixture, place on wax paper and place in freezer for 30 minutes. Beat the eggs, remove the ice cream from freezer, dip it into the eggs, then roll the ice cream into the cereal mixture, making sure to coat it well.
Place it back into the freezer for 30 more minutes (you want the ice-cream really cold and hard). If you want more crunch and coating you can repeat the egg/cereal/freezer step.
Now, heat the oil in pan (about an inch of oil), one at a time (keeping the other in the freezer until ready to make) carefully place the ice cream into the hot oil (400 degrees). It should only take 15-30 seconds each side, brown on all sides.
OR-you can use a pot/deep fryer to lower the entire ice cream ball into.
Serve immediately, topped with honey, chocolate syrup, whipped topping, whatever sounds good to you!
