Chubby Hubby Snack Mix

Things I swear I will never do again:

  • Tell myself on Saturday that “starting MONDAY I will only eat vegetables and drink water until I reach my goal weight”.  Which usually plays out like this:  Monday morning 10:30 am, me in the corner stuffing my mouth with Cheeze-Its, swearing that I was about to die if I didn’t have sustenance, yelling at the dog for making me so weak.
  • Wear false eyelashes in public.  Not because they don’t look great on OTHER people, but because I have false eyelash-lexia and in a matter of hours I have a half on-half off flapper,  like Brittany Spears circa 2007, back in her British speaking, paparazzi dating days.
  • Buy holiday candy 3 months in advance, “just to be prepared”.  What happens is I spend 4 times as much money replacing the provisional candy and then tell myself more “Monday-morning-cleanse” lies.
  • Tell my husband I will not roll my eyes at him ever again.  That’s just a flat-out lie.
  • Buy my kids ice cream and then blame my husband “when it all goes missing”.  What?  Like you’ve never done that.

So in an effort to make up for the fact that I may or may not have eaten the last of my kid’s Chubby Hubby, I made this snack mix.  It’s all the innards of the flavor without the ice cream getting in the way.

Straight to the vein.

Packages of Pretzels, Rolo candies, Baker's chocolate, Reese's peanut butter cups, and crisp rice cereal

Let’s applaud the players:

Chop up these beauties…

Mix it all together in a giant bowl.

Then give the mix a chocolate shower…

Make sure it all gets coated evenly and then let rest on a wax paper lined counter.

A clear jar of Cyprus Flake Salt

Now, if you’re feeling crazy, grab some sea salt.
I like this flaked kind, but use whatever you have.

And sprinkle a little bit all over the top.

Also, in case you were wondering, dipping plain Rolo candies into sea salt and then eating them by the paw-ful is a mighty delicious snack. FYI.

And that’s it.

  1. This recipe was a miss for me. It seemed like something was missing from the recipe. The rice crispy cereal just kind of sat there. Usually good recipes on here but this was a waste of my time and ingredients.

    I Like how Darlene thinks…but, don’t listen to me. I haven’t seen my goal weight since pre-belle!

  3. Ashley Orwitz

    !!! I don’t think I’ve ever wanted a desert like this so badly.

    So, of course, knowing me, I just went down to the supermarket to get all the ingredients :). Will keep you posted on what I think, but I can almost guarantee it will be great!

  4. You are totally hysterical! I love your site and I’m sure I’ll soon be loving your recipes.

    Thanks!

    I always say I’m going to start on Monday, but it never seems to happen. If I made something like this snack mix, I would have to dig in right away!
