Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your Chocolate Chex Mix gets that perfect crunch as it bakes.
- Step 2: Prepare the Baking Sheet - Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. This not only helps with cleanup but also prevents the mix from sticking.
- Step 3: Combine the Cereals - In your large mixing bowl, combine the 3 cups of Chocolate Chex cereal and 3 cups of Corn Chex cereal. Gently stir them together to mix them evenly.
- Step 4: Add the Chocolate Chips - Next, fold in the 1/2 cup of mint chocolate chips and the 1/2 cup of peppermint flavored dark chocolate pieces. Ensure that the chocolates are evenly distributed throughout the cereal mixture.
- Step 5: Bake the Mixture - Spread the entire mixture evenly onto your prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning and ensure even toasting.
- Step 6: Cool and Enjoy - Once baked, remove the sheet from the oven and allow the Chocolate Chex Mix to cool completely before breaking it apart. This cooling time helps the chocolates set and creates a delightful crunch.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container to keep it fresh for up to two weeks.
- You can freeze the mix for up to three months; allow it to thaw completely before enjoying.
- For a warm snack, reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes.
