Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until completely melted and smooth.
  • Stir in the mint extract. Pour the melted chocolate over the Rice Chex cereal and gently fold until every piece is evenly coated.
  • Add the chopped and/or crushed Thin Mint cookies and powdered sugar. Gently fold until the cereal and cookie pieces are evenly coated with the powdered sugar.
  • Transfer the muddy buddies to the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Melt and coat carefully: Microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each one until smooth. Gently fold the cereal into the melted chocolate so every piece is evenly coated without crushing the Chex.
  • Mix while warm: Add the chopped Thin Mint cookies and powdered sugar while the chocolate is still warm so they stick evenly and coat every bite with chocolate and powdered sugar.
  • Chill for the best texture: Refrigerate the muddy buddies for 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely and create the perfect crunchy coating.
  • Store and customize: Keep Thin Mint Muddy Buddies in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For even more mint flavor, add extra mint extract, use different chocolate varieties, or mix in your favorite candies, pretzels, or sprinkles.
