PIN TO SAVE PRINT RECIPE Meal plan

Ingredients you need for the No-Bake Rice Krispies Treats With white Chocolate and Peppermint

1 1/2 tablespoon butter 2 cups marshmallows 3 cups Kellogg’s® Rice Krispies® cereal 2 cups white chocolate chips Peppermints or candy canes, crushed

Directions

1. To make the Rice Krispies Treats: In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.

2. Add Rice Krispies cereal and stir until well coated. Transfer the mixture to a plate covered with parchment paper and allow to cool down a little.

3. Using your fingers (you can grease your hands with a bot of butter), form small balls, rolling them progressively between your palms.

4. In a double boiler, melt white chocolate, stirring with a wooden spoon until smooth. Using two forks, dip each ball into the white chocolate and immediately transfer to a baking sheet lined white parchment paper. 

5. Dust each ball with crushed peppermint before the chocolate has set (or roll them straight into the crushed peppermint!). Refrigerate the Rice Krispies Treats before serving. Enjoy!

Potluck dessert tips

1. Make sure to bring enough desserts to feed everyone! It’s always better to have too much than too little.

2. Ensure you know the ingredients of each dessert you bring to the potluck. This will help people with allergies, or dietary restrictions determine which desserts they can safely eat.

3. Label your potluck desserts, so people will know what they eat. Include your name and an ingredient list.

4. Get creative and make sure your desserts stand out! Consider making mini desserts or creating a themed dessert table.

5. Bring utensils and serving plates for your desserts. This will make it easier for your guests to serve themselves and enjoy your delicious potluck treats.

6. Don’t forget to have fun and enjoy the potluck party!
