Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 5 cups Chex cereal (rice or corn)
  • 10 ounces Andes Peppermint Baking Chips (or any peppermint flavored baking chips)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 6 candy canes, crushed

Instructions

  1. Melt chocolate chips: Melt the Andes Peppermint Baking Chips in the microwave using a large glass bowl. Heat in 20-30 second intervals on half power, stirring after each interval until the chips are completely melted and smooth.
  2. Coat the cereal: Pour the 5 cups of Chex cereal into the bowl with the melted peppermint chips. Stir and fold gently until every piece of cereal is fully coated with the melted chocolate.
  3. Prepare sugar mixture: In a large zip-top bag, add 1 cup of powdered sugar and the crushed candy canes. Mix them together lightly to combine.
  4. Add coated cereal to bag: Pour the chocolate-coated Chex cereal into the bag with the sugar and candy cane mixture.
  5. Mix thoroughly: Seal the bag and shake it vigorously until all the coated cereal pieces are evenly covered with powdered sugar and crushed candy canes.
  6. Store properly: Store the Candy Cane Peppermint Puppy Chow in the same bag or transfer to an airtight container. It keeps fresh for up to 2 weeks at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use either rice or corn Chex cereal based on preference; both work well.
  • Ensure the peppermint baking chips are fully melted but not overheated to prevent burning.
  • Crushed candy canes add a delightful crunch and peppermint flavor; you can adjust the amount depending on taste.
  • This snack can be stored at room temperature; avoid refrigeration to keep it crunchy.
  • For a non-peppermint version, substitute peppermint baking chips and candy canes with plain chocolate chips and skip crushed candy canes.
