Tips for this recipe
- When microwaving the chocolate don’t microwave more than 90 seconds. If you go too long it will begin to solidify and there is no going back. Ask me how I know. 😉
- Use a large spatula to gently stir the cereal and chocolate without crushing any.
- Eat them separately or mix the fudge and mint together to customize your experience.
- Get creative and add in some green M & M’s or marshmallows from a box of Lucky Charms when serving.
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- Made more than you needed? You can store it in the freezer in an airtight container for up to three months.
