I had this thought the other day when I was eating my 100th Peppermint Kiss. What if I made my favorite snack with peppermint crushed in it? I loved the white chocolate and peppermint together and since I am kind of obsessed with muddy buddies, I decided to make this. HOLY COW! These were so good! It was seriously like Christmas in my mouth and I couldn’t stop eating them! I think this became my favorite of all of the muddy buddy versions that I have made! So addictingly good!
Things that I changed: I kind of made this recipe up as I went along. I copied it from my funfetti muddy buddy recipe.
Things that I would do differently next time: I saw that they have chocolate mint peppermint candy canes! I want to try this with those!

Place 5 cups of Chex cereal into a large bowl, and set aside.
Add the almond bark and shortening to a saucepan. Heat over medium heat until melted.
Once melted, add the crushed peppermint candy and stir to combine.
Pour the melted mixture over the cereal. Stir to coat the cereal well.
In a large zip-lock bag, add the powdered sugar. Pour the cereal mixture into the bag and seal the bag. Shake to coat the cereal in the powdered sugar.
I used a food processor to crush the candy canes. It worked great and made the candy canes very fine and the perfect consistency for the mix.
