Peppermint & Chocolate Rice Crispies

Today -  for the first time in weeks - I had the opportunity to experiment in the kitchen for a bit.  My sister wanted to make some Cake Batter Rice Crispy Treats that she found online.  So I decided to make up my own rice crispy creation, just in time for the Holiday Season!

Peppermint & Chocolate Rice Crispies

This is what you'll need to whip up these easy Peppermint & Chocolate Rice Crispy Treats...

• 6 cups of Rice Crispy Cereal
• 10 oz of mini marshmallows
• 3 tablespoons of butter
• 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract
• 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips

Now in a large sauce pan over low heat melt the butter and the marshmallows, stirring constantly. 
Be careful it doesn't burn!  
After they are melted down, mix in the peppermint extract.
Enjoy the wonderful smell of Christmas filling the room, I know I always do!
Then stir in the cereal and the semi-sweet chocolate chips.  It's OK if the chocolate melts a bit.  
Yumm!


Now line a 13 by 9 (or a 9 x 9 if you want them thick) with wax paper.  Then, GREASE IT! If you don't, you will have to pick off the wax paper from the bottom of the treats, no fun - but still delicious!  Pour the cereal mix in the pan.  To spread it out evenly, grease a spatula.  Top with holiday sprinkles!

Red, Green, and White Sprinkles

Let them cool, cut into squares, and enjoy this festive treat! They are super duper easy, so get out there and start cooking! When you try them, let me know how they turn out.  I love comments :)
