Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add the Rice Chex to a large mixing bowl.
  • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the unwrapped Andes mints, and microwave for 45 seconds. Stir, then microwave for an additional 30 seconds and stir again. If the chocoalte isn't fully melted, microwave again for 15 seconds.
  • Pour the melted chocolate candy over the Chex and gently stir to coat. Then sprinkle on the chocolate pudding powder and toss until each piece of cereal is well coated.
  • Add in the candy (make sure it's unwrapped), including a few extra Andes Mints if you like, and toss to combine.

Notes

  1. For a less minty chocolate coating, use 10 ounces of dark chocolate candy melts instead of the Andes mints.
  2. Look for York Minis in a resealable bag in the candy aisle, they come in a 7-8 ounce package. If you can't find them, you can use an 8-ounce package of regular peppermint patties, just cut them into bite sized pieces. 
  3. If any of these candies are hard to find or not your favorite, just leave them out. You can replace them with a handful of M&Ms or other chocolates if you like. 
  4. To Store: Keep in an airtight bag or container in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
