Peppermint Chex Mix is one of my favorite holiday Chex Mix recipes because it’s so simple to make and it tastes SO good. It’s seriously addictive- just set the bowl out and watch it disappear! The white chocolate coats the cereal and adds a nice sweetness to the crunchy mix that everyone seems to love.

Tips for Making this Holiday Chex Mix Recipe

You can use any combination of candy cane that you prefer. I personally enjoy using a mixture of the round peppermints, crushed candy canes and even tossing in a few handfuls of Peppermint Crunch. The Peppermint Crunch is a product found next to the chocolate chips in the baking aisle of your grocery store. It’s a combination of peppermint candy and small candy cane bits which really help to add a nice color to this easy Christmas treat recipe.

 

 

Can I use any Chex Mix Variety?

Absolutely! While I personally enjoy using the non-flavored and simple Rice Chex or the Corn Chex cereals in my versions of this Peppermint Chex Mix Crunch, you can use any flavor of Chex that you want. In fact, using a chocolate-flavored Chex could be an amazing way to kick this Holiday Chex Mix recipe up a notch! Feel free to experiment and see which flavor combination you prefer!

 

 

Is This Holiday Chex Mix Recipe Gluten-Free?

If you use a gluten-free box of Chex mix, it will be! Chex currently has several boxes of gluten-free cereal meaning that you have plenty of options to choose from! Just make sure that the box says “gluten-free” on it and double-check the ingredient labels on your other ingredient items to confirm that there isn’t any cross-contamination risks to worry about.

 

Peppermint Chex Mix Ingredients

-6 cups Rice Chex® or Chocolate Chex® cereal

How to Make this Easy Peppermint Chex Mix

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and place your Chex cereal in a large bowl.

In a small bowl, microwave white vanilla baking chips/bark uncovered on high about 1 minute 30 seconds. Let sit for 2 minutes in the microwave and then stir until smooth, adding additional time in 15-second increments, if needed.

Pour melted chocolate over the cereal. Sprinkle in half of the peppermint candy. Stir the mixture gently until it’s evenly coated.

Spread the mixture in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Immediately sprinkle with remaining peppermint candy.

Let it stand until it’s set, this should be about 20 minutes. Then gently break up the coated cereal.

Store it in an airtight container. Enjoy!

Do I Have to Use Chex Cereal?

No, You can use any cereal of your choice. I personally enjoy Chex cereal above the others because it gives a great flavor and crunch to this Christmas puppy chow. That being said, you can use any other similar cereal or even go completely different and select something like Cocoa Puffs! (Adding in a few mini marshmallows to a chocolate cereal variety can make you feel like you’re eating a hot chocolate crunch mix!)

 

How Long Does Peppermint Chex Mix Last?

Around here it doesn’t last long at all! But that’s not the answer you wanted. If you keep your Holiday Chex Mix in an airtight container it can last up to 4 days and still taste amazing. Anything after that and you may experience stale cereal which is still edible, just less enjoyable.

Easy Eggless Eggnog recipe can be made quickly in a blender with French vanilla pudding, milk, whipped cream and a few other basic ingredients! This homemade eggnog recipe tastes just like your favorite holiday drink, no eggs necessary! 

Easy Eggless Eggnog has quickly become a favorite holiday drink at my house. My kids absolutely love eggnog and it is staple in our home around this time of year. I have seen homemade recipes for eggnog before, but was a little nervous to try a drink that you had to put actual eggs in and many of those recipes require a lot of cooking and stirring time as well.

Easy homemade eggnog recipe

For this homemade eggnog recipe, You only need a few basic ingredients for this version and after about 45 seconds in a blender, it is ready! It is better chilled, so allow for an hour or more in the refrigerator before serving. If the eggnog seems a little bit too thick when you are ready to serve, just add a little bit more milk and re-blend for a few seconds. I like to top mine off with a little bit of nutmeg, but I think a little dollop of whipped cream would look pretty on top too!

How do you whip cream?

Whipping cream is easy to do, especially if you know a little trick! Use a metal bowl and freeze it for at least 30 minutes before whipping the cream. This cuts so much time from the process! Before I learned this trick, it would take 8-10 minutes of beating the cream before it would get stiff, but now it only takes 3-4 minutes!

Place the whipping cream in the bowl immediately after removing the bowl from the freezer. Use an electric mixer turned up fairly high to beat the whipped cream. The whipped cream is ready when stiff peaks form as you lift up the beaters.
