Sweet & Salty Gorp

Are you ready for the perfect snack recipe that you will not be able to put down? If you are from or have lived in the midwest you may have had gorp as your sweet and salty snack. My friend Katie always made this for us during college and we made it again today on our girls weekend in San Diego!

Below is a recipe... definitely make this for your friends, family or coworkers. It will be a hit!

Recipe (Makes two 11x9 inch pan)
Dry Ingredients: Mix the following in one large bowl.

  • 8 cups Corn Chex cereal
  • 1/2 bag of stick pretzels, crushed 
  • 1 bag of M&Ms (we used peanut butter M&Ms... it was amazing)
  • Optional ingredients: Cheerios, peanuts, raisins, etc.
Wet Ingredients: Melt & mix the following in a separate large bowl
  • 2 sticks of butter
  • 2 10 oz bags of marshmallows
  • 2/3 cups peanut butter (add in after stirring the melted butter & marshmallows together)
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and spread evenly into two 9x11 inch pans. Let the mixture harden and cut into bars. Enjoy!
