Ingredients

The following ingredients have 20 Servings
  • 5 ounces  Guittards Green Mint chips (or green candy melts, the thin mints will still make them minty)
  • 5 ounces milk chocolate chips
  • 5 cups Chex Cereal
  • 1 tsp shortening
  • 9 Thin Mint Cookies or Keebler grasshopper cookies
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instruction

  • Divide the chex cereal into two bowls.  2 1/2 cups in each.
  • In a food processor crush 8 thin mint cookies until fine.  You can also crush in a gallon size bag with rolling pin.
  • In two gallon size bags, add 1/2 cup powdered sugar into each bag with 1/2 of the crushed thin mints into each bag. (It was about 1/2 cup of crushed thin mints.)  Set aside.
  • Melt the mint chocolate chips (or green candy melts) and milk chocolate in separate microwave safe bowls.   Melt 30 seconds at a time with 1/2 tsp shortening in each stirring after each 30 seconds until melted.
  • Once melted, stir in the chocolate into the separate bowls with Chex cereal until the Chex are coated well with the chocolate.
  • Add the mint chocolate and milk chocolate separately to the gallon sized bags with powdered sugar and crushed thin mints and shake until they are coated.
