Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 16 ounce Ghirardelli chocolate wafers
  • 0.5 cup chopped Andes mint candy or Andes baking bits
  • 2 cup powdered sugar
  • 10 cup 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 (mine took a total of 2 minutes).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cereal with melted chocolate. Fold with a large wooden spoon until all cereal is coated.
  3. In a large, gallon sized ziploc bag, add powdered sugar. Spoon in chocolate cereal mixture. Seal bag and shake until powdered sugar is coating all the cereal completely. Pour onto a large piece of wax paper and allow chocolate to set (about 20 minutes). Combine candies with chex and store in an airtight container. ENJOY!

Notes

You can use Crispix or Corn Chex cereals instead of Rice Chex in this recipe. I do not recommend freezing puppy chow. The cereal will become mushy and the texture and flavor will suffer. Thankfully, puppy chow is super quick and easy enough to make anytime you have a craving.
