Andes Mint Muddy Buddies (aka Puddy Chow)
Traditional muddy buddies are one of our favorite treats and we love putting unique spins new ways to make them including these mint muddy buddies. Mint and chocolate go so well together and let me warn you, this snack combo is incredibly addicting! You’ll also love how easy this is to make.
Ingredients Needed
All you need is 6-ingredients!
- Cereal: Rice Chex or corn Chex cereal.
- Chocolate: I like to use a mixture of chocolate chips, green candy melts, mint M&M’s, and Andes Mints.
- Powdered Sugar: used for covering the chocolate coated cereal and candies.
How To Make Mint Chocolate Muddy Buddies
Just a few simple steps for this yummy muddy buddy recipe.
- Prepare the chocolate cereal. In a large heat-safe bowl, add the chocolate and melt in the microwave and mix every 15 seconds. Add the cereal to the chocolate and mix to combine. Pour in 1 cup of powdered sugar and combine until coated.
- Prepare the green cereal. Add the green candy melts into a large heat-safe bowl and mix every 10 seconds to melt. Put in 5 cups of the cereal and combine to coat. Put the coated cereal into a large ziplock bag and combine it with 1 cup of powdered sugar. Combine and shake until coated.
- Combine the mixes. Place both coated kinds of cereal into a large ziplock bag and combine with 1 cup of M&M’s and 1 cup of Mints. Place in the fridge once combined and chill for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Variations and Additions
You can alter the recipe by using some of the suggestions below:
- Chocolate – Include any type of chocolate you want like white chocolate chips, dark chocolate, chocolate chunks, etc.
- Additions – Add peanuts or pretzels for a salty twist. Broken thin mint cookies or any mint chocolate cookies would be delicious to include!
How To Store
Storing – Place any leftovers in an airtight container or Ziplock bag for the best storage method. Store the mint puppy chow in a cool area or in the fridge to keep it from melting.
