Chocolate Peppermint Vegan Rice Crispy Treats
Chocolate Peppermint Vegan Rice Crispy Treats might be the easiest festive treat you make this holiday season!
Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons vegan butter (I use Earth Balance, can also sub coconut oil)
- 1 10 ounce bag peppermint marshmallows (can also sub vanilla marshmallows)
- 5 cups chocolate crispy rice cereal
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract (if using vanilla marshmallows increase to 1 teaspoon)
- a few tablespoons of crushed candy canes (pulse in food processor until crushed and crumbly)
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large pot.
- Add marshmallows and stir over medium low heat until melted (will take a few minutes).
- Add peppermint extract and stir well.
- Add cereal and stir to coat (will be tough to get completely coated, but will eventually come together!).
- Spray large 9x13" pan with non stick baking spray.
- Press cereal mixture into pan. Wet hands and then press cereal to prevent sticking.
- Sprinkle candy canes on top and press again to help stick.
- Allow to cool and come to room temperature before cutting into squares.
- Serve and enjoy!
