Place the Chex cereal in a large bowl. Place chopped Andes chocolate mints and white chocolate chips in a small bowl and melt in the microwave in 15-second increments, stirring between each increment.

In another bowl, stir together the powdered sugar and sifted cocoa powder. Pour the melted chocolate mints over the Chex cereal and gently stir just until all the cereal is coated in the melted chocolate. Sift the powdered sugar/cocoa mixture over and toss until fully coated. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Mint Chocolate Melting Magic 🍫
Use a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals to melt Andes mints and white chocolate chips, stirring frequently to prevent burning and ensure smooth consistency.
Powdered Sugar Coating Technique 🍬
Use a large zip-top bag or sturdy container with a tight-fitting lid for coating the Chex cereal, ensuring even distribution of powdered sugar and cocoa powder.
Chill for Crisp Texture ❄️
After coating, spread the Muddy Buddies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to help the chocolate set and create a satisfying crunch.
Prevent Clumping Pro Tip 🥄
Sift the powdered sugar and cocoa powder together before coating to eliminate lumps and create a more uniform, smooth exterior on your Muddy Buddies.
Flavor Intensity Hack 🌿
For an extra mint punch, finely chop additional Andes mints and sprinkle them over the finished Muddy Buddies just before serving.
