Ingredients
Scale
4 cups Rice Chex cereal
1 ½ cups chopped peppermint bark
½ cup confectioners sugar
Instructions
Pour the confectioners sugar into a gallon-sized zip-top bag and set aside for later use.
Place the Rice Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl; keep it ready to be coated.
Place the chopped peppermint bark in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it for 30 seconds, then stir thoroughly. Continue reheating in 25-second intervals, stirring after each, until the bark is fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted peppermint bark over the Rice Chex cereal. Stir gently to ensure all the cereal pieces are evenly coated with the peppermint bark.
Transfer the coated cereal into the bag containing the confectioners sugar. Seal the bag and shake vigorously until the cereal is completely covered in the sugar.
Spread the coated cereal onto wax paper or a cookie sheet. Allow it to cool completely before storing or serving to ensure the coating sets properly.
Notes
This no-bake treat combines the crunch of cereal with the refreshing flavor of peppermint.
Perfect for holiday celebrations or anytime you crave a sweet, minty crunch.
