Milk chocolate and white chocolate join forces with Oreo cookies in this delicious Cookies and Cream Chex Mix!

Back when I first started this website, I was “blogging” about a new idea or recipe every single day for 365 days. It was a personal challenge, and I started it when blogging was more like storytelling and sharing your personal life along with your content.

Things have certainly changed over the years in the online world! Now it’s all about detailed content that answers questions, informs the reader and includes a “skip to recipe” button for everyone who doesn’t have time or patience for all those WORDS. 😉

Today, I’m updating this Cookies and Cream Chex Mix recipe to add better photos and clean up the formatting a bit. But I couldn’t bring myself to totally delete the glimpse into the past:

Sometimes I feel like I’ve been in the “high 200’s” forever! It’s Day 285 today. Doing something from Pinterest every day has been quite a challenge. It has been tons of fun and I’m glad I took on the project. However, I’ll be glad to hit that 365 mark and be free to post a few times a week instead of every day! 🙂 So today’s super easy snack was a perfect way to end the day. It only took a few minutes to toss together and it’s SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!

I’ve had many different versions of Chex Mix and Muddy Buddies over the years. But when I saw an idea for Cookies and Cream Chex Mix on Pinterest the other day, I was hooked. Who doesn’t love Oreos? And I love anything with white chocolate!

There are many names for this yummy snack. I grew up calling it “Puppy Chow” but that was more often used with another kind of cereal. Then there are “Muddy Buddies” but to me, that always includes peanut butter (not my favorite, honestly.)

I know “Chex Mix” can bring to mind that savory mix we make during the holidays, but the name Cookies and Cream Chex Mix should be pretty self-explanatory. 😉

This recipe is essentially two different mixes that you then toss together to get the Cookies and Cream final version. So have TWO gallon sized plastic bags handy to contain the mess. It’s much easier this way, trust me.

The only “cooking” involved is melting the chocolate chips (and white chocolate chips) in the microwave. This should only take one or two 30-second turns in the microwave. Heat, then stir vigorously. If necessary, heat again, but don’t overdo it! White chocolate is SO persnickety and it will seize up if you look at it funny.

After you’ve tossed the two mixes (the milk chocolate mix and the white chocolate mix) in their bags, then you can add them to a large bowl and stir together with a few more Oreo pieces. It’s that easy!

For a yummy “fall” version of this snack, try my Pumpkin Spice Snack Mix! It’s a mixture of salty and sweet with delicious fall flavors.
