Deliciously festive rice krispies treats infused with peppermint and topped with crushed candy canes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Peppermint Candy Canes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1/8 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 10 ounces Mini Marshmallows (same as 6 1/2 cups)
- 6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
- 1 cup White Chocolate Chips
- 1/2 teaspoon Peppermint Extract (optional)
Instructions
- Crush the candy canes and set aside. Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter, vanilla, salt, and marshmallows in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth (or melt on the stove over low heat).
- Quickly stir in the Rice Krispies until coated, then press the mixture into the prepared pan and flatten with wax paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth (or melt in a bowl over simmering water).
- Spread the melted chocolate over the cereal mixture and sprinkle the crushed candy canes on top. Let cool completely before cutting.
- Transfer the firm sheet to a cutting board and use a sharp knife or bench scraper to cut into squares. Store in an airtight container with wax paper between layers for up to a week.
Notes
- Ensure to let the mixture cool completely before cutting for clean squares.
- For extra flavor, you can add a bit more peppermint extract if desired.
