Equipment

1 Stove Top
1 Sauce Pot
1 Glass Baking Dish

Ingredients

5 tablespoons salted butter
10 ounces Jet-Puffed Peppermint Marshmallows
6 cups Chocolate Rice Krispies
PAM cooking spray
12 ounces Wilton Candy Melts red/vanilla flavor
12 candy canes chopped

Instructions

In a large saucepan melt the butter. Once the butter is melted remove the saucepan from heat and add in marshmallows. Mix until melted.
Then add the six cups of chocolate Rice Krispies to the pot. Stir until well incorporated.
Spray a 9×12 pan with PAM cooking spray and begin spreading the Rice Krisipie treats out on the pan. Let cool in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Remove from refrigerator and cut into equal squares.
In a heat resistant bowl melt the candy melts in the microwave (in 30 second increments) until melted. While the chocolate is melting crush candy canes in a zip lock baggie and place to the side.
Have a baking sheet with parchment paper (or SILPAT) ready. Begin dipping each Rice Krispie treat in the melted white chocolate *half way. Place each chocolate dipped treat on the baking sheet and sprinkle with peppermint. Repeat until you have done this with all the Rice Krispie treats.
Let the chocolate harden in the refrigerator until chocolate is firm (about 15 minutes).

Notes

Rice Krispies - If you cannot find or prefer plain Rice Krispies use those instead.
Peppermint - If you cannot find the peppermint marshmallows you can use regular marshmallows and just add in ½ teaspoon of peppermint extract.
