Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 10-ounce bag marshmallows
  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 3/4 cup miniature chocolate chips - OR -
  • 1/2 cup regular chocolate chips
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cups crushed hard peppermint candies

Method

  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows and cook, stirring, until completely melted.
  • Take pan off heat. Stir in rice cereal. Gently fold in chocolate chips and peppermint candies. It's OK if the chips melt...it's part of what makes it good.
  • Spread mixture in a 9x13-inch baking pan, or any high-sided baking pan. The size of the pan dictates how thick your treats will be.
  • Set aside to cool and harden, about 30 minutes or so. Cover tightly, and keep at room temperature for up to 3 days...if they last that long!
