Answer 1

I know the snack as puppy chow.  

This is a treat / dessert that was mentioned on the TLC Show "Jon and Kate Plus Eight." There's another recipe presently on Recipezaar (http://www.recipezaar.com/288188) that states IT is the Monkey Munch recipe. I found a link to THIS "chex cereal" only version on the Gosselin's website (http://www.sixgosselins.com/).  The original version of this recipe is on the Chex site: http://www.chexmix.com/Recipes/RecipeVie...

SERVES 18 , 9 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

9 cups Chex cereal (any variety)

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/4 cup butter or margarine

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Directions

1. Put chex in a large bowl and put aside.



2. Place chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter into a quart-sized microwavable bowl.

3. Stir the ingredients together.

4. Microwave the mixture uncovered for a minute on "high." Stir the mix again and continue to zap in thirty second intervals until it mixes smoothly.

5. Add the vanilla and stir.

6. Pour over the cereal while stirring.

7. Put combination into a 2-gallon, Ziploc freezer bag.

8. Add powdered sugar, seal the bag and shake until distributed.

9. Spread Monkey Munch out on wax paper to cool and dry.

10. Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for storage.
