Cereal coated in white chocolate covered with powdered sugar and peppermint. These White Chocolate Peppermint Muddy Buddies are one of my favorite holiday treats.Â
Tis the season for peppermint! Peppermint EVERYTHING! And I am so okay with it. Around this time of year, I add peppermint to just about everything.
This time I added it to one of my favorite treats, muddy buddies. Muddy buddies have been a favorite of mine for a while.
Melting White Chocolate Chips:
I love white chocolate, but it can be hard to work with. Especially when adding something else to it. Here are my top tips for melting it with extract.
1. Add the extract first. DO NOT ADD AFTER MELTED! Your chocolate will be ruined if you do. So add it to the bowl with your white chocolate right from the start and allow it all to melt together.
2. Do not microwave! I'm all about the easy way out and love using my microwave, but trust me on this one. Instead, cook it in a double boiler. I just used a shallow pot with a little water and a glass bowl. If you are using milk chocolate chips they will melt much easier in the microwave, but with white chocolate, you need to go the extra mile to get it right.
3. Don't add any water or any type of liquid to your white chocolate after melting. It will Harden.
How to make White Chocolate Peppermint Muddy Buddies:
Step one: Place your cereal in a large mixing bowl then set it aside for later.
Step two: In a double boiler add white chocolate chips and peppermint extract. Turn the heat on low and stir frequently while the chocolate melts.
Step three: Once melted carefully remove and pour over cereal. It will be hot of course so you may want to use oven mitts to remove it.
Step four: Quickly mix until coated and add powder sugar. Mix again until all cereal is coated in sugar.
Step five: Last just toss with peppermint M&M's and enjoy!
