Equipment

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil melted
  • 5 cups Chex Rice Cereal
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup crushed peppermint candy plus more for garnish
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup Andes mint chocolate pieces chopped

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals until completely melted and smooth, stirring in between. Careful not to over heat so the chocolate does not scorch.
