Mint Chocolate Muddy Buddies
Mint Chocolate Muddy Buddies
If you love mint and chocolate together, these Mint Chocolate Muddy Buddies will be your new favorite no-bake treat.
They’re cool, crunchy, lightly sweet, and absolutely beautiful with their soft green color.
I made these using melted Andes mints—which already taste like the perfect blend of chocolate + mint—and added a touch of green food coloring to bring out that classic minty look.
Every handful tastes like mint chocolate chip ice cream but in muddy buddy form. They’re festive for Christmas, perfect for St. Patrick’s Day, and honestly delicious all year long. And since they require no baking at all, you can make an entire batch in minutes.
