Funfetti Snack Mix

[PrisonerOfHope]

If you have an Aldi's near you, they have their own brand of Funfetti mixes, in seasonal colors. Right now it's red & green; sometimes they have red, white, & blue; for fall it's orange, brown, & green; for spring it's pink and yellow. You could also use M&Ms in seasonal colors.

Funfetti Snack Mix





5 cups Rice Chex cereal

5 squares vanilla-flavored Almond Bark

1 t. vegetable shortening

1 1/8 cups Funfetti cake mix

1/4 cup powdered sugar

M&M's or Reese's Pieces (optional)

Sprinkles (optional)

Pour the Rice Chex into a large bowl and set aside. Melt the Almond Bark according to package directions, adding the vegetable shortening while melting to thin.

Immediately drizzle melted Almond Bark over the Rice Chex, and gently mix with a spatula to coat the cereal. Then, add the Funfetti cake mix and powdered sugar, and again, mix very gently with a spatula until cereal is evenly coated.

Add candies or sprinkles, if desired.

Makes 5 cups.

Notes: *If you need to double this recipe, one 12.8 oz. box of Rice Chex and one 24-oz. package of Almond Bark will cover a double recipe.

*1 1/8 cup is an odd measurement, but after several trials, these measurements prevent too much leftover "powder" at the bottom of the bowl.
