Peppermint Muddy Buddies (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
½ cup powdered sugar.
02 -
1 ½ cups crushed peppermint bark.
03 -
4 cups Chex cereal (rice flavor).
# Instructions:
01 -
Put the powdered sugar into a large zip-top bag. Set it aside for later—this will make the coating process a breeze.
02 -
Dump the Chex cereal into a roomy mixing bowl. It'll be ready and waiting for its chocolatey treat.
03 -
Toss the peppermint bark pieces into a microwaveable bowl. Warm it up for 30 seconds and stir. Continue microwaving in 25-second bursts, stirring each time, until it's fully melted and creamy.
04 -
Carefully drizzle that melted bark onto the cereal. Gently toss it around so all the pieces are coated nicely without breaking them.
05 -
Move the chocolatey cereal into the bag with powdered sugar. Seal it tight and give it a good shake until everything's wonderfully covered in sugar.
06 -
Lay the sugary cereal on a sheet of wax paper or a baking tray. Let it hang out until dry and the outer layer firms up.
# Notes:
01 -
It's a simple, festive snack that works great as a party treat or holiday gift.
02 -
Use pre-made peppermint bark, or whip up your own for a personal touch.
