Peppermint Rice Krispie Treats
Put an exciting festive twist on a favorite classic with these Peppermint treats. They are one of my favorite treats! I think they may even be the treat I give to neighbors this holiday season. Think peppermint bark combined with chewy Rice Krispie treats and what you get, these! Just to forewarn you, you’ll have a hard time eating just one. PS Did I mention these treats are quick and so easy?
Ingredients
You start with your usual Rice Krispies recipe: crispy rice cereal, unsalted butter, and marshmallows. The instructions are exactly the same, melting butter and marshmallows in a large pot, large saucepan, or microwave-safe bowl. Once melted, remove it from the heat and add a half teaspoon peppermint extract. (You can also add some vanilla extract if you want it sweeter or to mellow out the peppermint flavor). Once you’ve added the cereal and pressed the mixture into a tray, let it cool before frosting. Definitely use parchment paper to make shaping, frosting, and cutting the Rice Krispies easier for you.
Peppermint Bark Rice Krispie Treats
Peppermint bark is one of my favorite holiday treats, and perfect for gifting to others. To make Christmas bark into crispy treats? Genius! I also think using frosting to create chocolate peppermint Rice Krispies gives you more options if you don’t like it too sweet or too minty!
