Serves: 8

​Prep time: 10 Minutes

Bake time: None

Ingredients

• 8 cups Rice Chex or Corn Chex cereal

• 1 package (200g) mint chocolate chips (reserve ¼ cup to add to the final mix)

• 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips

• 1/4 cup salted butter

• 1/2 teaspoon mint extract (optional)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 3 cups powdered sugar

Directions:

1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

   
   

2. In a microwave-safe bowl, add the mint chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, and butter. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth. Let it cool for 5 minutes.

   
   

3. Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.

   
   

4. Pour the Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted chocolate all over the cereal and use a spatula to gently fold until all the cereal is coated.

   
   

5. Divide the powdered sugar evenly between 2 large Ziplock bags. Split the chocolate coated cereal between the two bags. Seal the bags and shake gently until the cereal is completely coated in powdered sugar.

   
   

6. Empty the bags onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading the cereal into an even layer to prevent clumps.

   
   

7. Let the puppy chow sit for 2 hours at room temperature to completely set.

   
   

8. Transfer the mixture to a large serving bowl, gently shaking the excess powdered sugar using a wire strainer or colander.

   
   

9. Mix in the final toppings of your choice such as mint chocolate chips, mint m&ms, and mint candy. Toss gently, serve and enjoy!
