Rice crisp cereal mixed with mini marshmallows and crushed peppermint candy canes, then topped with crushed peppermint candy canes. These peppermint rice crispy treats are perfect for the holidays.
Ingredients
4 tablespoons butter
10 oz mini marshmallows
5½ cups rice crisp cereals
2 peppermint candy canes, crushed
Topping
1-2 peppermint candy canes, crushed
Directions:
Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large pot, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallow to the pot, and stir until the marshmallows are completely melted. Constantly stir to prevent the marshmallows from sticking and burning.
Add crushed peppermint candy canes, and then add the rice crisp cereal to the pot, about one cup at a time. Stir to mix the cereal with the marshmallow and crushed peppermint candy cane. Once all the rice crispy cereal is covered in the marshmallow and the peppermint candy cane is well incorporated, pour all the cereal marshmallow mixture into the baking pan.
Use a spatula to spread the rice crispy mixture evenly. Sprinkle extra crushed peppermint candy canes on top. Let the peppermint rice crispy treats sit for about a half hour until set.
Use a sharp knife to cut the peppermint rice crispy treats into 16 pieces.
