Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 16 ounce Ghirardelli chocolate wafers
  • 0.5 cup chopped Andes mint candy (or Andes baking bits)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 10 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 1 bag Mint M&M candies (8 ounce)

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In the microwave, melt chocolate wafers with mint candy together for one minute. Stir, and continue melting in 30-second intervals until the mixture is smooth (this usually takes a total of 2 minutes).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cereal with the melted chocolate mixture. Fold gently with a large wooden spoon until all the cereal is evenly coated.
  3. In a large, gallon-sized Ziploc bag, add the powdered sugar. Spoon in the chocolate-coated cereal mixture. Seal the bag and shake vigorously until the powdered sugar completely coats all the cereal. Pour onto a large piece of wax paper and allow the chocolate to set (about 20 minutes). Once set, combine with Mint M&M candies and store in an airtight container. Enjoy!

Notes

For best results, allow the chocolate to fully set before combining with M&Ms and storing. I do not recommend freezing puppy chow, as the cereal can become mushy, affecting the texture and flavor. This recipe is quick and easy, so it's best enjoyed fresh!
