Combine all ingredients in a small crock pot. I usually preheat the mixture in a microwave, or you can heat it in the crock pot, until the cheese is melted and all ingredients are mixed well. Serve with crackers.

Melt first three ingredients together in microwave. Pour over 8 cups Rice Chex in a large bowl. Cover and shake well (until coated). Cool a little. Pour two cups powdered sugar over Rice Chex. Shake again. Store in refrigerator. BEWARE — this is very addictive!

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The state commission that oversees voting is holding a public hearing on a new rule that would start online voter registration in Iowa. The Iowa Voter Registration Commission is seeking a new rule to allow anyone with a driver’s license or photo ID issued by the Iowa Department of Transportation to log onto a website and register to vote. It’s a process used in 17 other states. Commissioner Charlie Smithson says it will benefit 94 percent of the population of Iowa with minimal cost.
Voter rights groups including the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa believe excluding those without a license or photo ID isn’t fair and will push for changes at the hearing set for 10 a.m. today (Tuesday), in Des Moines.
