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

Notes

This recipe is a delightful twist on traditional puppy chow, capturing the essence of Thin Mint cookies with a refreshing minty flavor and a rich chocolate coating.
