White Chocolate Peppermint Chex

If you do nothing else today, go to Starbucks, get a White Peppermint Mocha and then email me and tell me every single detail. 

I haven’t had a single red cup yet. Can you believe it? I’m currently avoiding Starbucks because I know I’ll get talked into gingerbread loaf or cranberry bliss bars or my favorite blueberry muffins. And you guys, DAYS from now my husband will be home. I can’t be stuffing my face with muffins. 

Guess what y’all! I got my car back! It was such a mess. But I got it back! 

You guys know I live on Fort Carson. So to get to my house you have to go through an ID check point. It’s really not a huge deal to get on post even if you’re not military. I mean, the ice cream man gets through, the UPS guys, I even saw the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile go through once. But for whatever reason the dealership shuttle guy couldn’t get through. Even though they had assured me days before that he could.

So the girl at the dealership was all, “I’ll just have my boyfriend pick you up.”

And now, looking back at it, I realize that she was just being super duper helpful and wanted to do whatever she could to get me my car. 

But at the time… 

At the time, I was convinced I was about the be kidnapped. Like, seriously convinced. Like, searching through my husband’s Army closet looking for something to put in my purse that could be used as a weapon.

Yeah, this is how my brain works. So I tweeted my BFF so someone would know what happened if I disappeared and then had a massive panic attack that I then convinced myself was a heart attack.

This went on all day.

I don’t even know what to do with myself. 

So they ended up sending the poor technician out to get me and all my children because by this time all of them were home. The poor guy got stuck in traffic for an hour then got stuck at the gate getting searched forever and then had to endure a 30 minute car ride of my children whisper-screaming at each other. I totally happy cried when he pulled my car around.

And then I sad cried when I paid the bill.

Anyway, back to white chocolate and peppermint! I made Chex Mix! Well, kind of. It’s really just Chex cereal covered in white chocolate and crushed peppermints. Super simple, my favorite winter flavor combination, AND it will hold you over while you wait for the White Chocolate Peppermint Pringles to show up in the grocery stores.

White Chocolate Peppermint Chex Mix
Ingredients
  • 6 cups Chex cereal Rice or Corn
  • 12 ounces white almond bark
  • 10 crushed peppermints I put them in a ziploc bag and then used a hammer to crush them
Instructions
  1. Lay a large sheet of wax paper on a counter or other flat surface.
  2. Put the Chex cereal in a very large mixing bowl.
  3. Break the almond bark up and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt for 30 second intervals, stirring after each one, until the bark is melted and smooth. Stir in half of the crushed peppermints.
  4. Working quickly, pour the melted almond bark over the cereal and use a rubber spatula to make sure all the cereal is coated. Pour the cereal onto the wax paper and spread into a single layer. Sprinkle with the remaining crushed peppermints.

    I would have been in panic mode all day knowing some strange man was coming to pick me up! I think I would have endured being stuck in the house for another week instead. And with white chocolate peppermint chex mix who needs to leave anyway? Peppermint Mocha…oh, yeah, I had one just the other day. It was as good as I remembered. Until I remembered how many calories were in the hugemongo cup I downed. Sad cry! I am so excited for you that your hubby will be home next week! Happy dance!

    Amanda I am so excited for you that your husband is coming home soon!!! YAY! My husband travels a ton for work (nothing like how long yours is gone), but I totally get that paranoia. I think everyone is going to kidnap me or my baby and worst I’m always scared someone is going to break in at night! I love snack mixes like these and especially white chocolate – delicious!
