Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 6 cups Chex cereal (rice or corn)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Chocolate Mixture
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 12 Andes mints, unwrapped and chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Prepare the mint chocolate mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips, chopped Andes mints, and butter. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring well after each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Coat the cereal: Place the Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted mint-chocolate mixture over the cereal. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until all the cereal pieces are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
- Shake with powdered sugar: Transfer the coated cereal into a large sealable plastic bag or a container with a lid. Add the powdered sugar. Seal and shake vigorously until the cereal is fully coated with the powdered sugar, creating the signature “puppy chow” texture and sweetness.
- Cool and serve: Spread the coated cereal on parchment-lined baking sheets to cool and set. Once set, transfer to serving bowls or airtight containers for storage.
Notes
- Use rice or corn Chex cereal for the best texture.
- Chop Andes mints finely to allow them to melt and distribute evenly in the chocolate.
- Ensure the chocolate mixture is not overheated to prevent burning or seizing.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- For added texture, consider mixing in chopped nuts or mini marshmallows.
