Mint Chocolate Puppy Chow
Mint chocolate puppy chow delivers chocolate, mint, cereal, and candy flavors. It's a sweet snack that's irresistibly tasty.
Servings: 7 servings
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Andes Mints roughly chopped
- 1 Cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 Tablespoon salted butter
- 7 Cups Rice Chex cereal
- 2 Cups powdered sugar
Optional Mix-Ins:
- mint-flavored cookies chopped
- Andes mint candies or mint-flavored baking chunks
- green M&Ms
Instructions
- Place the chopped Andes Mints, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and salted butter in a large, microwave-safe bowl.
- Heat on high in the microwave for 30 seconds and then stir well. If any unmelted chocolate remains, continue heating in 10 to 15 second increments and stirring well until it is smooth and melted. Do not overheat.
- Add the Chex cereal and gently fold it until it is coated with chocolate.
- Sprinkle on ½ of the powdered sugar and shake the bowl as much as possible before adding the other ½ of the powdered sugar.
- Seal the bowl with a lid or wrap it well with aluminum foil, and then shake the bowl to combine the cereal and sugar until uniformly coated. Gently break up any clumps if needed and shake again.
- Spread the muddy buddies out on a large sheet of aluminum foil or parchment paper and allow them to set completely.
- When ready to serve, transfer to a large serving bowl and fold in any optional mix-ins you desire.
