Hi. My name is Carrie and I am addicted to Muddy Buddies. Ok phew. The first stage is admitting it. Unfortunately, I have also accepted the fact that I will always be addicted! What is it with these that are so delicious? I even had to get a bag on our most recent road trip. They weren’t the same as a fresh batch made at home, but they still were great! Someone told me a few weeks back when I posted the last muddy buddy recipe that I should make a mint kind. I gladly took on the challenge. Holy yum! I loved the mint flavor in these!

Ingredients For thin mint puppy chow

  • 1 tsp
    shortening
  • 9

How To Make thin mint puppy chow

  • 1
    Divide the Chex cereal into two bowls. 2 1/2 cups in each.
  • 2
    In a food processor crush 8 thin mint cookies until fine. You can also crush in a gallon size bag with rolling pin.
  • 3
    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.
  • 4
    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 teaspoons shortening in each stirring after each 30 seconds until melted.
  • 5
    Once melted, stir in the chocolate into the separate bowls with Chex cereal until the Chex are coated well with the chocolate.
  • 6
    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.
