Peppermint and chocolate--you can't go wrong with that wonderful combination! And this is a super easy gluten and dairy free version of the popular recipe.
Peppermint Muddy Buddies
12 ounce box of rice or corn square cereal (Chex or any other brand)
2-12 ounce bags of chocolate chips
1/4 cup oil
3 1/2 cups crushed candy canes (more or less to taste)
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
Place the chex cereal in a large bowl. If you have a large bowl with a lid that is the best but not necessary.
Place the chocolate chips in a glass or microwave-safe bowl. Add 1/4 cup oil to bowl with chocolate chips. Microwave on low power until chocolate chips are completely melted, stirring every couple minutes.
Pour melted chocolate chips over chex cereal and stir to completely coat the cereal in chocolate. Add crushed candy canes and mix together.
Pour powdered sugar and cocoa on top of the chex mixture. Stir mixture slightly and then cover with the lid and shake to completely coat the chocolate in the powdered sugar mixture. You can also place this in a large bag and shake too if you don't have a lid for your bowl. Or, you can just stir together. Any of these methods work well but the bowl with the lid is (or should be) the least messy of the options. :o)
Pour the cereal out onto parchment or wax paper-lined cookie sheets and spread out and allow the chocolate to set. Once set, place in airtight containers to store. Enjoy!
