Ingredients

• 1 10 ounce bag peppermint marshmallows (can also sub vanilla marshmallows)
• 5 cups chocolate crispy rice cereal

Directions

• 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.
