Sinfully Delicious!

Since everyone in my Texas Hold 'Em Club just raved about my "Cupid's Poop" snack brittle last night, I'm publishing the recipe on my blog. And since Walgreens has Valentine's candy 75% off this week, be sure to stock up so you'll be able to make this light and fluffy treat year-round!

Cupid's Poop

YIELDS: 3 lbs. (enough for a small Bridge Club, Poker Club, other club, etc.)

6 boxes of assorted Valentine's chocolates (don't throw out the heart-shaped boxes!)
1 24-oz. bag chocolate chips
1 24-oz. bag peanut butter chips
3 cups miniature marshmallows (buy multi-colored if you can find them)
1 10-oz. can honey roasted peanuts (Spanish will do in a pinch)
1 12-oz. bag pretzel sticks
2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
3 cups Lucky Charms cereal
1 stick oleo (margarine)
2 t. vanilla extract

Melt oleo in large saucepan over medium heat. Add peanut butter chips, chocolate chips and stir until melted. Do not burn! Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, peanuts, pretzel sticks, coconut and cereal until coated well. Pour into large, well-greased bowl and pop in the fridge for 2 minutes, not a second longer. You just want the mixture to set up, but not cool completely. Remove from fridge and briskly stir in miniature marshmallows and chocolates until coated. Spread onto well-greased waxed paper and allow to cool 10 minutes (I can never wait that long!). When firm, break into bit-size chunks and put into heart-shaped boxes for presentation. I always line the boxes with paper towels to soak up some of the grease. Serve and your next function and accept the compliments graciously!
