Description

These No-Bake Mint Chocolate Chip Clusters are a delightful and easy-to-make treat combining rich semisweet and white chocolate with refreshing peppermint extract and crispy rice cereal for the perfect crunchy texture. Ideal for holiday candy or anytime you want a quick and delicious chocolate mint dessert without turning on the oven.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Mixture

  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract

Mix-ins

  • 1 1/2 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons green sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the clusters from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval until completely smooth.
  3. Add White Chocolate Chips: Stir in the white chocolate chips to the melted semisweet chocolate and continue stirring until the white chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and combined.
  4. Mix in Peppermint Extract: Add the peppermint extract to the melted chocolate mixture and mix well to evenly distribute the mint flavor.
  5. Fold in Cereal and Mini Chips: Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal and mini chocolate chips until the mixture is evenly coated with chocolate.
  6. Form Clusters: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping each into a small cluster.
  7. Add Sprinkles (Optional): Sprinkle the green sprinkles over the clusters to add a festive touch if desired.
  8. Refrigerate to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the clusters are completely set and firm.
  9. Store Properly: Transfer the clusters to an airtight container and keep refrigerated to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Use high-quality peppermint extract for the best flavor profile.
  • Avoid mint flavorings not intended for food-safe use.
  • For a richer chocolate taste, substitute semisweet chips with dark chocolate chips.
  • Clusters can be frozen in an airtight container for longer storage.
