10 cups square rice cereal
6 oz chocolate chips
6 oz green candy melts

1 cup chocolate mints like Andes mints

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Melt chocolate chips in a large microwave safe bowl, stirring every 15 seconds until melted. Pour 5 cups of the cereal squares into the chocolate and stir until completely coated. Add in 1 cup of powdered sugar and mix.
In another large microwave safe bowl melt the green candy melts carefully, stirring every 10 seconds. Once melted add 5 cups of the cereal squares and stir. Pour into a big zip lock bag and add 1 cup of powdered sugar, zip up and shake until everything is coated. You can either do both in a bowl and stir or both in a zip lock bag and shake whichever you like!
Combine both mixes of the coated squares into one zip lock bag (or divide into two) mix in 1 cup of m&ms and 1 cup of the mints, zip up and shake until well mixed.
Refrigerate for 10 minutes and enjoy!

Notes

For a delicious twist, try making these mint chocolate muddy buddies using dark chocolate!
There’s two ways to make this, in a bowl or a zip lock bag. My favorite way is the zip lock bag because it's less mess and one less dish to wash.
Don't skip the 10 minute chill at the end. It may seem silly, but without it the snack mix will be sticky since the chocolate won't have had time to set up properly.
