CAPTAIN AMERICA CRUNCH:RECIPE

I'm going to preface this with saying that I really love to bake and cook. If I didn't, I totally wouldn't put much effort into snack time for storytime/camp. But, even if you don't enjoy it like I do, if you're looking for a fun snack to serve this summer, this is pretty easy. It took about 30 minutes from start to finish with all the different colors. 

Supplies: 

1 bag of red, vanilla flavored candy wafers

1 bag of blue, vanilla flavored candy wafers

1 bag of white, vanilla flavored candy wafers

Vegetable oil 

1 box white cake mix

1 box strawberry cake mix

1 package powedered sugar 

2 family size boxes of Rice Chex

M&M's (optional) 

INSTRUCTIONS: 

For each color, measure out 1 cup of the colored wafers into separate bowls. Melt them in the microwave until smooth. Usually takes about 1 minute, so I do  two 30-second intervals to mix. 

Mix in 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil to each color mixture and stir until well combined. 

For the red wafers, measure out 3/4 cup of the strawberry cake mix. Mix in the cake mix with the wafer/oil mixture. Stir well.

For the blue and white wafers, measure out 3/4 cup of the white cake mix. Mix in the cake mix with the wafer/oil mixture. Stir well. 

In 3 separate medium sized bowls, measure out 3.5-4 cups of Rice Chex. Pour colored mixture on top and mix until the cereal is evenly coated. 

Once all colors have been mixed with the cereal, mix them all together in a large bowl with 1 and 1/2 cups of powdered sugar. Mix until evenly coated. 

I put red and blue m and m's on top of mine for decoration, but those are totally optional! 

Enjoy!
