Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 16 ounces Ghirardelli chocolate wafers
- 0.5 cup chopped Andes mint candy (or Andes baking bits)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 10 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1 bag Mint M&M candies (8 ounce)
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate wafers with the chopped mint candy. Start with 1 minute, stir, and continue melting in 30-second intervals until smooth. This usually takes about 2 minutes total.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal with the melted chocolate mixture. Fold gently with a large wooden spoon until all the cereal is evenly coated.
- In a large, gallon-sized zip-top bag, add the powdered sugar. Spoon the chocolate-coated cereal mixture into the bag. Seal the bag tightly and shake until all the cereal is completely coated with powdered sugar.
- Pour the coated cereal onto a large piece of wax paper and let the chocolate set, which takes about 20 minutes. Once set, gently mix in the Mint M&M candies. Store in an airtight container. Enjoy!
Notes
This snack mix is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Avoid freezing as it can affect the texture.
