Instructions
- Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Unwrap and crush candy canes.
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Reduce the heat to low and add most of the marshmallows, setting aside 1 cup for later. Stir until completely melted and combined.
- Remove from heat and stir in the peppermint extract, Rice Krispies, 2 tablespoons of the crushed candy canes, and the reserved marshmallows. Transfer to the prepared pan, pressing gently into an even layer without compacting. It helps to use the empty butter wrapper or buttered hands or spatula to press out the rice krispies treats.
- Carefully melt the dark chocolate and white chocolate in separate bowls by heating in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each burst of heat, until smooth. Drizzle both types of chocolate over the rice krispies treats, then give the pan a little shake to help smooth out the top a bit. Sprinkle with the remaining crushed candy cane pieces. Let the rice krispies set up completely before slicing them into squares.
Notes
- Store: Keep treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days to stay fresh and chewy.
- Freeze: Wrap each square in plastic wrap and freeze in a container for up to two months. Thaw at room temperature.
- Reheat: Warm thawed treats briefly in the microwave for a gooey texture, but don’t overdo it to preserve the chocolate layers.
- Make Ahead: Prepare up to three days in advance and store in a sealed container—perfect for easy holiday entertaining!
