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?

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.
All I can say is YUM!!!!
Ummm – I am going to start sneaking away from my house and coming to your house on Sundays!
Thanks for sharing my recipe Michelle! If you didn’t live so far away, I’d be coming over to sneak some of these. 😉
My only question is… Why aren’t you delivering these to my house on Sundays?
I made these for my book club tonite – they are so tasty!
