Am I the only one who loves peppermint bark? Like seriously, I could eat my weight in that stuff! Because chocolate + peppermint…what’s not to love?? 😉 So of course when I saw a peppermint bark variation of puppy chow (or muddy buddies, whatever you prefer) I was on board. I even had all the ingredients on hand, thanks to the white chocolate peanut butter snack mix I made a few weeks ago. In fact, I had been looking for a way to use up the leftover rice chex before it went stale, and I couldn’t have found a more perfect way! With only 3 ingredients, it’s perfect for your busy holiday schedule as well. I used Andes peppermint crunch baking chips, but you could easily substitute white chocolate and crushed peppermint. You can even add some crushed peppermint to the Andes baking chips…but I was too lazy to crush any peppermint and it was still delicious. I’m also thinking that a combination of dark chocolate and Andes peppermint crunch would be delicious too! This “recipe” is so versatile, the sky is the limit. Get creative. I think it’d be pretty hard to make a bad batch of puppy chow! =) Enjoy!
