how to make peppermint Rice Krispie Treats<\/h2>\n

you will need:<\/strong><\/p>\n

RICE KRISPIES CEREAL<\/h3>\n

Use the classic cereal or any store-brand version.<\/p>\n

MARSHMALLOWS<\/h3>\n

You will need 10 ounces of marshmallows. Different brands have different densities, so it\u2019s best to use a scale or the weight printed on the bag as a guide, but in general,\u00a010 ounces of marshmallows is 40 regular size OR 6 cups of mini.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Don't have a scale? Is your bag of marshmallows a different size or brand? No problem! Check out our MARSHMALLOW GUIDE<\/strong><\/a> to determine exactly how many marshmallows you'll need.<\/p>\n

BUTTER<\/h3>\n

For best results, we recommend using European-style, salted butter. European butter has a higher butterfat content, so your treats will be richer and creamier.<\/p>\n

FOOD COLORING<\/h3>\n

Choose any color of gel paste food coloring you like. My preference is the Americolor Soft Gel Paste brand. Electric Pink is used here.<\/p>\n

Tinting your treats is OPTIONAL! I've also made this recipe using regular cereal and they are just as pretty.<\/p>\n

PEPPERMINT EXTRACT<\/h3>\n

We recommend using pure peppermint extract for the best flavor, and not peppermint flavoring or imitation extract. Do not use mint extract.<\/p>\n

STARLIGHT CANDIES<\/h3>\n

You'll need about 10 pieces of the classic red and white peppermint candies. You may also substitute 5 or 6 candy canes.<\/p>\n

WHITE CHOCOLATE<\/h3>\n

For the drizzle on top, I melted Nestle-brand white morsels. You may use any preferred chocolate, including semi-sweet or milk chocolate.<\/p>\n
