    Peppermint Bark Muddy Buddy Chex Mix Recipe

    I wanted to make a treat for my family to snack on while we were decorating the tree, but I didn’t want to spend a lot of time making it, so I came up with this fast and easy recipe for Peppermint Bark Chex Party Mix.

    To crush the candy canes without making a mess, place them in a ZipLoc bag and then roll a rolling pin over them.

    The Rice Chex added a delightful crunch to the peppermint bark and I felt a little less guilty having some vitamin fortified cereal with my candy.
