We managed to get our trampoline in the hole. Sort of. My husband still has to dig out a little more dirt because one side is higher than the other. Yikes! Times like these I’m glad I’m the woman. 😉
I didn’t have time for crafting this weekend, so I’m sharing a recipe. A chocolate recipe. Mint Chocolate Cookie Crunch to be exact. I’ve been on a chocolate kick lately. Not sure why, but it seems like I am always craving it. Which is strange for me during the summer, because usually I prefer cold, creamy, fruity desserts during hot weather. Not this year. It’s been all about chocolate. And of course I always love chocolate with mint. Yum!
I got this recipe from Finding Joy in My Kitchen. She linked it up with my Cookie Exchange way back in December. I love chocolate and mint together, so I knew it was only a matter of time before I tried them. I finally did, and I’m not so sure it was a good thing. 😉 These babies are heavenly! And they are so easy to make that it is scary. I had to give them away because I could NOT stop eating them. I love the crunch from the cereal and the Oreos. So darn good!!
Mint Chocolate Cookie Crunch
1/2 bag Andes mints, unwrapped
12oz bag of chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet)
2 cups Rice Crispies cereal
1/2 package of Oreos, crushed
Melt mints and chocolate chips in a large glass bowl in the microwave at 50% power, stirring often. Add the Rice Crispies and Oreos and stir till combined. Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let sit till hardened. That’s it!
Are you talking the Andes candies chips, like chocolate chips or a box where you have to unwrap them?
HI, I LIVE IN QUEBEC, CANADA. I WANT TO MAKE YOUR RECIPE WITH MINT AND RICE KRISPIES. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY A BAG OF ANDES MINTS? CAN I REPLACE IT BY ANOTHER KIND OF MINT? THANKS FOR GIVING ME THE CHANCE TO MAKE THE RECIPE FOR CHRISTMAS EVE. RACHEL

My husband would LOVE those! I’m not a fan of Rice Krispies myself, but he is and he’s crazy about mint chocolate. Thanks for the recipe!
I’m not a fan of rice crispies either. But I sure like them in these. 😉
Wow. Those sound divine. Definitely on my list of things to try!
I am always in a chocolate mood!!
