What Are Rice Krispies?

Rice Krispies are tasty treats that typically consist of cereal, melted marshmallows, and butter to create a flavorful experience. You can combine these ingredients to create the perfect easy rice krispie to have as a snack. The great thing about rice krispie treats is that you don’t have to use your oven to make them. 

This version uses white chocolate and peppermint to give the classic dessert a unique flavor. I know that peppermint is more of winter time flavor, so feel free to omit it if you want to enjoy these year round!

White Chocolate Rice Krispie Ingredients

If you want to make these winter rice krispies, you will need specific ingredients, such as:

• Rice Krispies Cereal. Measure out six cups of the cereal before you start to mix it.
• Mini Marshmallows. You will melt the marshmallows down to get your cereal to stick together.
• Butter. The butter adds flavor to these treats while giving them that shiny appearance.
• Peppermint Candies. Crush the peppermint candies down into small pieces before you use them.
• White Chocolate Chips. You can use any brand of white chocolate chips or chocolate chunks. I prefer Ghiradelli white chocolate, but any type will work.

With these ingredients, you can prepare the White Chocolate Peppermint Rice Krispies with ease.
