Every year I make several treats to give away to neighbors, friends and co-workers. I love doing this one since I get a fair amount, it's very yummy and pretty easy to make. I don't have many pictures, so forgive me for that!
This year I made two varieties, White Chocolate Peppermint Chex, as pictured above, the second is Mint Chocolate Chex or Grinch Mix.
Both are yummy, but I do admit that the peppermint variety is more appealing to look at! Both start with Corn Chex, the peppermint is made up of white chocolate and then I add some of those peppermint chips that you get in the baking aisle and then a couple drops of peppermint extract. I add the extract when the chocolate is all melted. The peppermint chips will turn the chocolate pink, but I like that since it makes it easier to see how coated the cereal is.
For the Grinch mix I used these chips, again:
I had some left from making truffles, plus I had some Chex left from making the Peppermint mix and decided to combine the two.
After the chocolate is melted, pour it over your cereal. Stir until coated. Spread it out onto a cookie sheet to dry and harden. Dish up or parcel out depending on how you intend to give it away.
I will be doing a post shortly about different options when giving out treats so look for that!
