Equipment
- Large pot
- 9x13 baking pan
- Rubber Spatula
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoon butter
- 16 oz. bag marshmallows
- ¼ tsp. peppermint extract
- 2 tsp. instant coffee
- 3 cups puffed rice cereal
- 3 cups chocolatey puffed rice cereal
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 3 candy canes crushed
- ¼ cup white chocolate
Instructions
- Spray a 9x13 pan with baking spray and set aside.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in marshmallows and cook, stirring occasionally, until melted. Stir in peppermint extract and instant coffee and remove from heat.
- Using a rubber spatula coated with baking spray, stir in cereals and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips and crushed candy canes before spreading into prepared pan.
- Meanwhile, heat the white chocolate in a microwave for 1 – 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth. Drizzle over bars and let sit out for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
Notes
- White chocolate chips will not work for this recipe, as they have a stabilizer in them that prevents proper melting. Use a white chocolate bar or vanilla flavored almond bark if you want a delightful drizzle!
