Peppermint Rice Krispie Treats

ingredients:

• 2 tbsp coconut oil 

• 6 oz mini peppermint marshmallows, I got mine at Trader Joes

• 1/2 tsp peppermint extract 

• 3 cups brown rice crisp cereal

• optional: 1 candy cane, crushed

Directions:

1. Line an 8X8 baking dish with parchment paper.

2. In a small sauce pan over medium heat, add coconut oil and marshmallows. Stir frequently until marshmallows are completely melted, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in peppermint extract.

3. Add melted marshmallows to a large bowl and gently fold in brown rice crisps until well combined.

4. Transfer to prepared baking dish and press down to evenly distribute the rice krispies (I use another piece of parchment paper and my hands). Optional: sprinkle crushed candy cane over the top and press into the rice krispies.

5. Wait for them to cool before cutting into 16 squares.
