Ingredients
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1-1/2 cups mini semi-sweet chocolate chips or regular sized, Enjoy Life recommended
- 3 Tablespoons coconut oil
- 3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 12.8 oz box Chocolate Chex Cereal 8 cups
- 6 candy canes crushed, 1/2 cup
Instructions
- Divide powdered sugar between two gallon-size Ziplock bags then set aside. Tear off two large pieces of parchment or wax paper then place slightly overlapping onto the counter.
- Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a large, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 45 seconds then stir and continue microwaving in 30 second increments, stirring between increments, until chocolate is smooth. Add peppermint extract then stir to combine.
- Add cereal and crushed candy canes then fold gently to coat cereal in chocolate. Divide cereal between Ziplock bags then seal, taking care NOT to squeeze the air out of the bags. Gently toss the cereal around to coat in powdered sugar then pour out onto parchment or wax paper. Let cool until chocolate is set then package in an airtight container.
Notes
- You can also freeze Puppy Chow if you make it ahead of passing it out.
- Chocolate Peppermint Puppy Chow makes great gifts to give in pretty bags tied with a ribbon!
