Sweet Chex Mix

Sweet Chex Mix

2 boxes Rice or Corn Chex (can mix one of each if you want)

1 lb. mixed nuts or peanuts (can leave out, but I think it tastes better with them in)

1 cup and butter

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 1/2 cups light corn syrup

1 TBSP vanilla

Mix together in a large bowl the Chex and the nuts.

Boil the butter, sugar, corn syrup for 2 min. 

 Add vanilla.  

Pour over Chex and nuts and stir until well coated.

This makes a lot, so you can store it in an airtight container and save some for later, or give it away as gifts. 

Zucchini Bread

This recipe is originally from my sister, Adell.  It is an easy, good quick bread.

Zucchini Bread

3 eggs
1 cup oil
2 cups sugar
2 cups grated zucchini with the peal on
2 teaspoons vanilla

Beat the eggs until they are fluffy and light colored.  Then add the oil, sugar, zucchini and vanilla and stir well. Then add:

3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons cinnamon

Mix until it is well blended.  Add 1/2 cup of nuts if you want.  Divide into 2 greased loaf pans.  Bake at 325 for 1 hour or until done.  You will need to do the "toothpick stuck in the middle to see if the batter is still sticking if it is done" test.  (The batter will not stick to the toothpick, BTW)
