Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp butter
- 10 oz Jett-Puffed Peppermint Mini Marshmallows, divided
- 6 oz mini marshmallows
- ½ tsp peppermint extract, (start with less and adjust to taste)
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
For the Topping
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ tsp Crisco shortening, or coconut oil
- ½ cup almond bark, or white candy melts
- ½ cup peppermint candy, crushed
Directions
- Place the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high power for 45 seconds, or until melted. Add half of the peppermint marshmallows and all of the regular mini marshmallows. Stir to coat the marshmallows with butter.
- Microwave the marshmallow mixture on high power for 1 minute. Stir well, then continue heating in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Stir in the peppermint extract, starting with ¼ teaspoon and adding more to taste, up to ½ teaspoon.
- Stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated. While the mixture is still warm, gently fold in the remaining peppermint marshmallows until evenly distributed.
- Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan (butter adds extra flavor). Transfer the mixture to the pan and gently press it into an even layer using buttered hands or waxed paper. Do not pack the mixture down firmly. Allow to cool completely, then cut into 24 equal pieces.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and shortening or coconut oil. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir well. Continue heating in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
- Dip one corner of each Rice Krispie Treat into the melted chocolate. Place on a sheet of waxed paper and immediately sprinkle the dipped portion with crushed peppermint candy. Let the chocolate set for about 15 minutes.
- Melt the almond bark or candy melts according to package directions. Drizzle over the treats and allow to set completely before serving.
