As you guys know my name is Patti! So when it comes to St. Patricks day I feel like we have a special bond! I usually call it St. Patti’s Day. I also have a lot of Irish in my blood, which my husband can attest to sometimes hehe. So this is a fun holiday to us. To make it more festive I like to whip us these Leprechaun Muddy Buddies.
We love muddy buddies in our house so I put a little twist on it and added mint to it. So if your a mint fan like us, you will love this yummy treat.
What I did was instead of peanut butter and butter I just used Andes chocolate baking chips and normal semi sweet chocolate chips. I melted them together, mixed in the Chex cereal (which we always have in stock at our house.) I then coated it with powdered sugar. The special treat that I love adding to these Leprechaun Muddy Buddies is thin mint cookies! Ahh it makes it so good, I just love thin mint cookies. You can either brake them in your hand or cut them up with a knife but I like to keep them chunky. Once done I usually sprinkle a little more Andes mints on top for a little something.
- 1 1/2 C Andes Mint Baking Chip
- 1 1/2 C Semi sweet chocolate chips
- 9 C Chex cereal
- 3 C Powdered Sugar
- 1 sleeve Thin Mint Cookies about 22 cookies
-
Melt both chocolates together until smooth.
-
Poor over you Chex Cereal and stir until all cereal is coated.
-
Place coated cereal in a 2 gallon zip lock bag or split it up into 2, 1 gallon zip lock bags. Pour powder sugar in bag. Zip it up and shake around until powdered sugar coats all cereal.
-
Place in bowl and stir in chopped thin mint cookies. You can either break them apart with your hands or chop them but I leave them chunky.
-
Sprinkle Andes baking chips over the top.
