So if you’re familiar with Lolly Jane, you’ll know we’re known for home improvement, crafts and/or holiday decor.  Not baking.  Not cooking.  Not being in the kitchen.  We DO cook, every night for our families.  We do bake, especially on Sundays for our large family dinner gatherings.  BUT…we stick with the basics and easy recipes.  Today’s recipe is definitely an easy one.  But I made the mistake of experimenting.  After TWO big batches of chocolate wasted, a few curse words floating around my head, I finally went back to my original source and altered their recipe.  Argh.  It tastes divine, just the right amount of mint and chocolate…but folks, do not attempt to melt York Peppermint Patties.  Don’t melt them in a bowl first then add dark chocolate chips to it, it’ll seize.  Don’t melt white chocolate candy coating then being sneaky and add a few patties the last 15 seconds, it’ll still seize.  DO melt white chocolate chips and add mint extract.  The end.  Hope you enjoy my experimental Peppermint Pattie Chex Mix, it’s perfectly festive and tastes delish!

  1. You can use Andes crushed mint candies!! They come in 12 oz
    bags (similar to choc chips). I just melted a bag last night with semi-sweet choc chips to use in a fudge recipe. Works perfectly and should work with this recipe…I’ll let ya know : )
