    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.

    adding powdered sugar

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

    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. Add Chex cereal to a large mixing bowl. Pour in melted chocolate and gently mix until cereal is coated. Next (and quickly before your chocolate dries) add in powder sugar and again gently mix until all cereal is coated. Add broken up Andes chocolate mints pieces and serve.
