I should rename this White Chocolate Candy Cane Chex Mix to “Christmas Crack”. It is SO addictive! I could not walk past it without having a bite. Thankfully, I had some great friends that agreed to take most of this mix off my hands.
How to Make Peppermint Chex Mix
This recipe only has 3 simple ingredients and takes about a minute to make. Place some Chex cereal in a large bowl. Melt a package of almond bark, stir in peppermint oil, and pour over the cereal. Toss to coat the cereal. Add crushed candy canes and toss again. Spread out on wax or parchment paper to cool and set up. Break into pieces and enjoy.
- This recipe uses peppermint oil and NOT peppermint extract. Adding liquids to almond bark will cause the candy coating to seize up. Using peppermint oil wonāt change the consistency of the candy coating and adds a lot of peppermint flavor. You can buy it at a cake decorating store, Hobby Lobby, online at King Arthur Flour, or with my affiliate link at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3505NNw
- The coated cereal will keep for at least a week in an air-tight container.
- You can use flavor Chex cereal that you prefer.
- I use a food processor and basically make candy cane dust with small pieces.
- If you donāt want to use almond bark, you can substitute an equivalent amount of white chocolate. You will want to add a tablespoon or two of shortening to the white chocolate chips to easier to melt and gives it a smoother, creamier texture.
It makes a ton, so it makes a great gift. It is perfect for friends, neighbors, teachers, and co-workers. Put some in a cellophane bag and tie it up with a red ribbon. A quick and easy gift that everyone will enjoy!

Your recipe looks great but any kind of mint makes me ill. Is there something else you could suggest? Thanks.
I wonder if I could use the soft peppermints to get the same outcome?

I'm addicted to this as well. I use white chocolate chips instead of almond candy coating though. YUM!
Us the regular, hook shaped candy canes, right? Not the soft stick ones? Can't wait to make this!
Yes- that is what I used. Enjoy!
You said can last up to week in air tight container. Is it possible to keep longer? Want to mail and that would be longer time.
It probably will keep longer. Just make sure to keep it in an airtight container so it doesn’t get stale.
the food processor pulverizes the candy canes nicely, but i prefer to double bag them and whack them with a meat mallet. It works and makes me feel better.
That is a great way to get out some frustrations! š
This looks good, but I want your dish! That is so cute! Thanks for sharing.
Wishes for tasty dishes,
Linda
Looks like I've found what I'm going to be making today!
