Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 6 cups Chex cereal (rice or corn)
  • 12 ounces semisweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 12 Andes mints, chopped finely
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chocolate and Mint Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and finely chopped Andes mints. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
  2. Coat the Cereal: Pour the Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the melted chocolate and mint mixture over the cereal, gently stirring with a spatula to evenly coat all pieces without breaking the cereal.
  3. Shake with Powdered Sugar: Transfer the coated cereal to a large resealable plastic bag. Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag securely, and shake vigorously until the cereal is thoroughly coated in powdered sugar for a light, sweet finish.
  4. Cool and Serve: Spread the coated cereal on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow it to set at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • You can substitute Andes mints with any other mint chocolates or extract if preferred.
  • For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free chocolate chips and ensure powdered sugar is free from additives.
  • Be gentle when stirring to avoid breaking the cereal pieces.
  • If you want a stronger mint flavor, add a few drops of peppermint extract along with the chopped Andes mints.
