Mint Muddy Buddies

Mint Muddy Buddies take just a few minutes to make. A crunchy, mint chocolate snack that no one can resist! Made with Andes Creme de Menthe baking chips you can find in the baking aisle next to the chocolate chips. You will also need to add in some dark chocolate and I really like using the big chocolate bar from Trader Joe’s. Just make sure to cut it really small. You can use a serrated knife to make it easier. Regular chocolate chips works great, too!

Peppermint recipes just might be my speciality! This recipe for my Peppermint Chip Shake just might be better than the original at Chick-fil-a. If you are more of a baked treat type of person you’ll want to make these Chocolate Peppermint Patty Cookies. You could also bake up a perfect batch of Peppermint Bark Cookies or some Chocolate Peppermint Pretzels.

Chocolate Snack

Unless you are allergic to peanut butter, I don’t know of a single person who can resist muddy buddies. Some may call it puppy chow, too!

We are absolutely loving this mint version and it’s just as easy to make.

How To Make Muddy Buddies

In a very large bowl pour in rice chex.
In a microwave safe medium bowl combine creme de menthe baking chips, chocolate chips and butter.
Melt for 30 seconds and stir.
Melt for another 10 seconds at a time stirring after each time. You should not exceed 1 minute total for melt time.

If you still have some lumps, stir consistently until melted completely.
Pour immediately over cereal.
Toss together until cereal is completely coated.

In a separately bowl, sift powdered sugar and cocoa powder together.
Toss the powdered sugar mixture with the chocolate coated cereal.
Serve immediately.
When storing, use an airtight container.

You can also add in some festive M&Ms if you are making these around the holidays!
