Equipment

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces Rice Chex Cereal
  • 24 ounces white almond bark candy coating
  • ½ cup crushed peppermint candies
  • ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract

Instructions

  • Break the bark into pieces and place in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave until melted, stirring every 15 seconds.
  • When the almond bark is completely melted, add in the peppermint extract and stir.
  • Pour cereal into the largest bowl you have. Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal and stir to make sure everything is coated.
  • Add the crushed peppermints and stir once again. If you want to use sprinkles, add them now.
  • Place parchment paper down on the counter or tray and spread all the cereal out on the paper and let harden for about 10 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes

  • When baking make sure you use a low temperature for a longer time to make sure that the cereal gets crispy without burning.
  • Don't forget to stir every 15-20 minutes to make sure nothing is sticking and everything bakes evenly.
  • Allow the snack mix to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Keep it at room temperature which will help keep it fresh and crunchy.
