Cereal Treat Sunday-Mint Chocolate Crunch

This yummy cereal treat mixes three of my favorite things: mint, chocolate and crunch. My pregnant tummy is in love with mint and these totally hit the spot. They are so easy to make and seemed to be a real crowd pleaser at our recent GNO.

I originally found this recipe on Creations by Kara who makes so many delectable things, plus I just love her! I could not find a bag of Andes mints so I changed the recipe just slightly.


  • 1 rectangle package Andes mints
  • 12oz chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet)
  • 2 cups Rice Crispies cereal
  • 1/2 package of Oreos, crushed


Melt mints and chocolate chips in a large glass bowl in the microwave at 50% power, stirring often. Add the Rice Crispies and Oreos and stir till combined. Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let sit until hardened.



I put mine in the fridge to speed up setting and keep them from melting to nothing during their stint in the car during GNO dinner. I liked them room temp and straight from the fridge. Well, as you can see I didn't even wait for them to set up before testing the mint chocolate crunch goodness. How could I resist?



If you have a favorite cereal treat, leave a link in the comments or send the recipe to me by email (tipsyblog@gmail.com) and maybe you will get featured.

Michelle, I want to make sweet love to you after tasting these. It's a good thing you're already pregnant, so that's not a risk.

Thanks for sharing my recipe Michelle! If you didn't live so far away, I'd be coming over to sneak some of these. ;)
