Chocolate and mint are my all-time favorite flavor combination. It’s always been my favorite candy, ice cream, cake, you name it.

If it came in chocolate and mint you know it’s something I would love.

These Andes Muddy Buddies are coated in my favorite melted Andes and then covered with powdered sugar.

To give it even more chocolate and mint flavor I even tossed in even more Andes mint candy.

Instructions

Step one: Place the unwrapped Andes in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time removing, stirring, and cooking, until fully melted. This should take just a minute.

Step two: Add Chex cereal to a large mixing bowl. Pour in melted chocolate and gently mix until cereal is coated.

Step three: Next (and quickly before your chocolate dries) add in the powder sugar and again gently mix until all cereal is coated.

  • Tip: Once your cereal is mixed at it to a baking sheet to dry. This will help keep your muddy buddies from drying and chunks and sticking together.

Step four: You can serve it as is or add broken up Andes chocolate mints pieces.
