Chocolate Mint Muddy Buddies

My family loves Muddy Buddies, so I was excited to try out a new version.  Of course my coworkers got to try it out also.  It was a HUGE hit with everyone!  Just the right amount of mint.  I searched for some green candy to add to make it a big more festive and St. Patrick's day like, but had no luck!! 
Chocolate Mint Muddy Buddies
adapted from Sugary Sweets
12 oz package of milk chocolate chips (or 2 cups)
1/2 cup  Andes Mint Pieces
1 teaspoon oil
10 cups Chex cereal (rice or corn)
2 cups powdered sugar

Measure out your cereal and put it into a big bowl.
Put the chocolate chips, mint pieces and oil in a bowl.  Melt in the microwave stirring after first minute and then every 30 seconds until the chocolate is melted and smooth (about 2-3 minutes).  Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal and stir until it is all coated.  Pour the powdered sugar into a gallon baggie and spoon the cereal mixture in to the bag.  Seal and shake until ther pieces are well covered.Pour pieces out on to some wax paper to allow the chocolate to set.
Store in an airtight container.  That's if it lasts long enough to make it there!!
Quick, simple and DELICIOUS treat!!
