One of my very favorite flavor combinations around the holidays is chocolate and mint. I don’t care what kind of chocolate and I don’t care what kind of mint, it’s such a yummy and festive pairing of tastes!
This party mix takes minutes to throw together and tastes like it came straight from Santa’s workshop itself. It would have a perfect place on the table of any holiday party.
With two kinds of chocolate – white and milk – along with the peppermint and crunchy Rice Chex cereal, this is an addicting mix that you won’t be able to stop eating. Enjoy!

Serves: 5 cups
Ingredients
- 5 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 10 ounces white chocolate melting wafers
- ⅔ cup crushed peppermints
- ½ cup mini M&M's
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Add the Rice Chex to a large mixing bowl. Melt the white chocolate according to the directions on the package.
- Using a non-stick spatula, pour the melted chocolate over the cereal and fold gently, being careful not to crush the cereal, until fully coated.
- Add half of the crushed peppermints and M&Ms, fold a few times, and then add the rest and continue folding gently until the candy is dispersed.
- Add the powdered sugar to a large Ziploc bag. Add the mix to the bag (you may need to do this in sections) and toss to coat.
- Discard excess powdered sugar and keep stored in an airtight container. You can also freeze any uneaten portions in a sealed Ziploc bag.
Notes
I added an extra sprinkle of M&M's and peppermints to the top of the bowl in the photos in this post to add some extra color. Feel free to do the same if you're displaying this for a party!
