Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups chopped Andes Mints Provides the essential mint chocolate flavor; try similar mint chocolates if Andes are not available.
  • 0.25 cups unsalted butter Acts as the binding agent for melting; feel free to use margarine as a substitute.
  • 6 cups Chex cereal This crunchy base can be made with any flavor; however, rice or corn Chex works best for texture.
  • 1.5 cups powdered sugar Creates a sweet, delightful coating; instant powdered sugar is best for achieving a smooth finish.
Topping Ingredients
  • 0.25 cups chopped Andes Mints Enhances flavor and texture with an extra minty kick.
  • 0.25 cups green candy melts Adds color and a playful touch; you can substitute with other colors to suit any occasion!

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of chopped Andes Mints and 1/4 cup of unsalted butter. Microwave the mixture for 30 seconds, then remove and stir well. Continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is thoroughly melted and glossy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add 6 cups of Chex cereal, ensuring it's evenly distributed. Pour the melted mint chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently fold it with a spatula until every piece is coated.
  3. Transfer the chocolate-coated Chex cereal into a large zip-top bag. Add 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar, seal the bag tightly, and shake vigorously until all cereal is covered.
  4. Spread the coated cereal mixture onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to set.
  5. Once set, sprinkle 1/4 cup of chopped Andes Mints over the top. Melt 1/4 cup of green candy melts in the microwave, stirring until smooth, then drizzle it over the surface for decoration.
