Truffles and "Crack"

When I got home from the Cookie Walk on Sunday I was inspired to make a batch of Oreo Truffles and "Christmas Crack". I know most of you know this treat as Chex cereal "Reindeer Food", but my scrapbooking friends and I find it so addictive that we call is crack. I wasn't going to make the Oreo truffles, but someone made them for the cookie walk & my husband said "you're gonna make those, right?"

So, here are the recipes:



Reindeer Food/Christmas Crack

1 Box of Corn Chex cereal
1 large package of M&M's
1 regular bag of mini pretzels
1 large jar of salted peanuts
24 oz white candy coating (or white chocolate chips)

Mix all the ingredients except for white chocolate/candy coating in a very large bowl. Melt white chocolate/candy coating and quickly pour into mixture & mix together. Quickly dump out onto waxed paper and spread it in a thin layer and let it cool completely. Once it is cool, break into pieces and store in an airtight container. You may want to work this in 2 smaller batches.
