Chex Mix has rolled out a holiday flavor: Muddy Buddies Peppermint Bark. If you haven't looked at the Chex Mix products in your local stores recently, you should do so; you'd be surprised at how many different flavors they offer... from sweet to salty to sweet & salty. The Muddy Buddies line usually involves chocolate, but this one does not (thankfully, more on that later). Perhaps this has white chocolate in it?
It's hard to tell. The traditional Chex cereal base is covered in the traditional confectioner's sugar, but what's making it stick to the cereal is a mystery. It could be white chocolate, or it could be simply a fatty mix containing hydrogenated vegetable oil. Either way, each bite has the expected crunch which very well combines with the fatty coating.
Along with sweetness of everything described above is a moderate dusting of peppermint flavor. Its bitterness and dryness is completely balanced with sweet. And... it's gloriously absent of chocolate. I feel that chocolate-mint combos are a bit too prevalent in today's processed sweets, and so this stuff is quite refreshing (no pun intended).
As someone who's really not a fan of peppermint, I find myself keep reaching for these until the bag is empty. If it weren't for my (admitted) distaste for peppermint, this would be rated 3 NOMs.
