This Candy Cane Chex Mix is the perfect quick and easy holiday treat.
I have one last Christmas recipe for you this year. I know Christmas is almost here and this is a little late, but if you need a last minute Christmas treat or snack this is delicious.
And it is super quick and easy to make!
I wanted to be sure to share it because I wanted to remember it for next year. Candy Cane Chex Mix was one of the new recipes that I made for our office Christmas party. Sharing the recipes here is the main way I keep track of the recipes that I make each year.
This recipe would also make a great snack for New Year’s Eve.
I am pretty sure this is going to become a new favorite holiday treat for us.
I used a recipe that I found on the Chex site for Candy Cane Muddy Buddies recipe, but I changed it up a little to make it a little more chocolatey.
Ingredients
Five simple ingredients are all you need for this holiday treat.
- rice Chex
- chocolate Chex
- chocolate chips
- candy canes
- powdered sugar
Candy Cane Chex Mix
A simple five ingredient holiday treat.
Ingredients
- 3 cups rice Chex
- 3 cups chocolate Chex
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 cup crushed candy canes
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Place Chex cereal in a large bowl. Set aside.
- In a microwave safe bowl melt chocolate chips by heating for 30 seconds at 50% power, stir, and repeat until melted.
- Pour chocolate over cereal. Stir to combine.
- Carefully stir in crushed candy canes.
- Place the mixture in a ziptop type bag.
- Add powdered sugar and shake until the cereal mixture is well coated.
- Spread onto a cookie sheet, discarding extra powdered sugar. Leave on a cookie sheet until firm. This takes an hour or so. I like to refrigerate it to help it firm up better.
