Serving Size 12 servings

Equipment

  • 9x13 pan

Ingredients

Rice Krispie Treats

  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 6 cups marshmallows full or mini marshmallows
  • 6 cups rice krispie cereal

White Chocolate Spread

  • 1 1/2 cups vanilla white chocolate melts

Peppermint Topings

  • 1-2 tsp peppermint dust sprinkles

Instructions

Rice Krispie Treats

  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Once butter is melted add the marshmallows. Stir continually until the marshmallows are melted.  
  • Once marshmallows are melted, remove from heat. Add the rice krispie cereal and stir until evenly combined.
  • Add the rice krispie treats to a prepared pan. I spray my pan with nonstick spray but your can coat with melted butter too. I find that coating my hands with the nonstick spray and then pressing the treats into the pan helps to prevent unwanted sticking.
  • Let the treats set up to room temperature before moving on.

White Chocolate Spread

  • I put my melts into a glass measuring cup and microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring after each time to see how melted it is.  
  • Once the white chocolate is melted drizzle on top of the cooled rice krispie treats and spread until the top is evenly coated.

Peppermint Topping

  • Add as much Peppermint Dust Sprinkles as you'd like as soon as you've spread out that melted white chocolate (it will start to set up quick).
  • Let the white chocolate set up until firm and then cut into squares.

Notes

Store the leftovers in an airtight container and keep at room temperature for up to a week. They are best if served or gifted within 2 days of making though.
