Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Andes Mints, roughly chopped
  • 1 Cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 Tablespoon salted butter
  • 7 Cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 2 Cups powdered sugar

Optional Mix-Ins

  • Mint-flavored cookies, chopped
  • Andes mint candies, or mint-flavored baking chunks
  • Green M&Ms

Instructions

  1. Melt Chocolate Mixture: Place the chopped Andes Mints, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and salted butter in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high in the microwave for 30 seconds and then stir well. Continue heating in 10 to 15 second increments and stirring until the mixture is smooth and melted without overheating.
  2. Coat Cereal: Add the Rice Chex cereal to the melted chocolate mixture and gently fold until all the cereal pieces are evenly coated.
  3. Add Powdered Sugar: Sprinkle half of the powdered sugar over the coated cereal. Seal the bowl with a lid or aluminum foil and shake vigorously. Add the remaining powdered sugar and shake again until the mixture is uniformly coated. Break up any clumps gently if needed and shake once more.
  4. Set the Puppy Chow: Spread the coated cereal mixture evenly on a sheet of aluminum foil or parchment paper. Allow it to cool and set completely.
  5. Serve with Optional Mix-Ins: Once set, transfer the puppy chow to a large serving bowl. Fold in any desired optional mix-ins such as mint-flavored cookies, more Andes mints, or green M&Ms before serving.

Notes

  • Get creative by adding any candies, nuts, dried fruits, chocolates, or alternative cereals for personalized flavor variations.
  • For enhanced flavor contrast, consider adding a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
  • This recipe is highly addictive; making extra is recommended as it disappears quickly during gatherings.
