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!
- 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.
