I love muddy buddies so much, so when I saw a cookies and cream take on muddy buddies you can imagine my joy! When I looked at the recipe, I was really worried the all the vanilla would be overpowering and there wouldn't be enough Oreo flavor...so, I decided to turn the flavor UP! I adapted the recipe into mint muddy buddies and added a ton more crushed Oreos. Result was AMAZING!
Mint Cookies and Cream Muddy Buddies
adapted from Cooking Classy's Cookie and Cream Chex Mix
Ingredients:
- 6 cups Rice Chex Cereal (use your favorite chex cereal)
- 1 cup very finely crushed Oreos* (use a food processor or blender. It needs to be more powder like than coarse crumbs)
- 1 cup powdered sugar, plus 1/8 cup powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 cup mint white chocolate chips *
*OTHER ways to achieve Mint flavors = 1) add 1 tsp mint extract to the melted white chocolate; 2) use mint Oreos; 3) use half Oreos and half Girl Scout Thin mints; 4) use mint flavored white chocolate chips...
How to Make:
- Measure 6 cups Rice Chex Cereal into a large ziploc bag, set aside.
- Pour Oreos powder/crumbs and 1 cup of powdered sugar into a bowl and whisk to combine mixture. Put half of the Oreo/powdered sugar mix into a bag, set aside.
- Using a double boiler, melt the mint white chocolate chips stirring occasionally until melted and smooth. **here is where you'd want to add the mint extract if using that method.
- Pour 1/2 the melted mint white chocolate over Rice Chex and seal bag. Using your hands gently massage the bag to help the mint white chocolate seep into the chex mix. Repeat with rest of melted mint white chocolate.
- Pour or scoop coated Rice Chex into ziploc bag containing Oreo/powdered sugar mixture. Seal bag and shake until the cereal is evenly coated. Repeat with remaining oreo/powdered sugar mixture.
- Finally, add in 1/8 cup of powdered sugar, seal bag, and shake to give that signature muddy buddy look.
- Now...EAT! Store what's left in an airtight container for up to a week.
