Peppermint Bark Chex Mix Recipe on twopeasandtheirpod.com An easy and festive treat for the holidays!

Christmas is next week! NEXT week! That is crazy! I am excited for the holiday, but sooooo not ready! I need more time to get everything done. Maybe I will ask Santa if I can borrow a few elves. I could use some extra help. I’ve tried to put Caleb to work, but it usually doesn’t save me any time. We have fun though…and that is why I’m running behind.

If you are running behind like me and are looking for an easy holiday treat to make for neighbors, friends, and family, I have the perfect recipe for you-Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chex Mix. It’s super easy to make…and super easy to eat. I won’t tell you  how many handfuls I’ve eaten. I won’t tell you because I lost count! Let’s just say A LOT!

Our Chocolate Coconut Chex Mix is one of my favorite treats. I decided to mix things up by making a holiday version. I omitted the coconut and invited crushed candy canes and peppermint bark to the party!

I poured melted chocolate over Rice Chex cereal and stirred in crushed candy canes. I coated the cereal with powdered sugar. Our kitchen looked like we had a major snow storm!  Sugar is my favorite kind of snow:)

I let the Chex Mix set for about 15 minutes and then I stirred in chopped up peppermint bark. Oh, yeah! This Chex Mix is loaded with chocolate peppermint goodness!

After eating numerous handfuls, I put the Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chex Mix in cute bags and tied them up with ribbon. Josh delivered the bags to our neighbors! Such a fun, easy, and delicious holiday gift!

I am kind of sad we gave all of our Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chex Mix away so I am going to make another batch this weekend. It will be the perfect treat for us to munch on while we watch holiday movies! I am sure Caleb will want to watch Polar Express for the millionth time, but I am in the mood for Home Alone 2. 🙂

  1. Oh man I love peppermint bark, but to put it together with chex, this is the best Puppy Chow mix ever! Awesome recipe! I have to say I have never seen Polar Express, how sad is that?

  2. Puppy chow and peppermint bark are two of my favs! But, together? Oh my goodness I don’t know if my mouth could handle that much awesome.
    Just kidding….definitely could. So yummy!

  3. Oh this is brilliant! I will have to make it and share with the neighbors so I don’t eat every bit myself!

  4. My mouth is WATERING just looking at this! I will definitely be making some this weekend, and then a second batch to bring home to my peppermint-bark obsessed sister. Thanks Maria!

  5. I am so behind too! I love this treat and gluten free which is an added bonus for sensitive tummies 🙂

  6. Forgive me for asking, and i probably should know – lol, but……where do you find peppermint bark?
    Thanks much for any and all help.
    Merry Christmas

    p.s. The Polar Express is an absolutely wonderful movie, we watched it 2 weeks ago when my 88 year old MIL was at our home for a visit.

  7. Ohhh wow this looks delicious! Peppermint Bark is one of my absolute favorite thing about the holiday season. This is the perfect thing to give out to friends and family!

  8. I just bought something like this last night and we loved it! But oh yes! Making it at home will be even better !!!

  9. This is not related to the recipe, although that looks delicious! But since Caleb loves Despicable Me, I keep meaning to tell you this: My daughter works at a local grocery store and on Halloween they dress up. This year all the cashiers dressed as the Minions. 🙂

  10. I know I can’t believe how fast Christmas seemed to come around. This looks delicious by the way, so festive 😉

  11. I have so much peppermint candy left over from Christmas. I think this delicious snack mix needs to happen. It looks irresistible.

  12. Let the Chocolate COCONUT?? Chex mix sit until… Did I miss something? ?  I didn’t see coconut listed in ingredients, only in directions.
