Mint Chocolate Muddy Buddies. This crunchy snack was something that my neighbor couldn’t stop eating. It is perilously delicious and only 3 ingredients are needed to prepare it.
Servings: 10-12
Ingredients
-
9 cups crispy cereal (such as Chex) rice or corn square cereal.
-
2 cups pastel green mint baking chips/mint white chocolate chips.
-
2 cups powdered sugar
Preparing Mint Chocolate Muddy Buddies
-
On line two medium foil trays or pans that are 9×13 in size or use parchment paper or lightly grease them to make sure the muddy buddies do not cling. Set aside.
-
Add the crispy cereal to a very large mixing bowl (large enough to toss everything without spilling her). Place the bowl close to your slow cooker so that it is ready when the chocolate has melted.
-
Put the light green mint baking chips into the slow cooker bowl. Cover it with the lid and place it to LOW.
-
Melt the mint chips on LOW for 45 to 60 minutes. Stir every 15 minutes with a heat-safe spatula so they melt evenly and do not burn. They are prepared when totally smooth and shiny.
-
Melted the mint chocolate and smooth, switch off the slow cooker. Hurry Put the melted mint chocolate over the cereal bowl.
-
Fold and mix the cereal with a large spatula or wooden spoon until all the squares are covered with the pastel green mint chocolate. You have to take your time not to crush the cereal.
-
Use one half of the powdered sugar and sprinkle it on the coated cereal and toss it around. Add the rest of the powdered sugar and keep on tossing until all the cereal squares are covered evenly and in a thick, dusty layer of white and no wet spots of chocolate is left.
-
Put the mint chocolate muddy buddies into the foil trays prepared, and spread it out so that it forms a thin layer in the foil tray allowing the mint chocolate muddy buddies to cool and harden. The combination must resemble pastel pieces of green shining through a liberal sprinkling of white powdered sugar.
-
Allow trays to rest in room temperature (30-45) or until the chocolate becomes solid and the cereal is dry to the touch. When your kitchen is hot, it is possible to place the trays in the fridge to accelerate the process 15-20 minutes.
-
After being fully cooled and set, break easy with your hands the large masses. Eat the muddy buddies in the trays of foil, or put them in an airtight container. Keep at room temperature a maximum of 4-5 days to maximum crunch.
