peppermint everything & a recipe

i love peppermint! it doesn't just have to be christmas for me to have anything peppermint, but this time of year makes me want it even more! we are loving this dessert recipe right now and it is so easy to make. the only challenge is finding the peppermint marshmallows which of course are only seasonal. the only place i have seen them is at target so get them while you can!

peppermint rice krispies

2 tbsp light butter spread (i used smart balance)

10 oz or 4 cups mini peppermint marshmallows

6 cups rice krispies

crushed peppermint, peppermint white chocolate m&m's, for topping

1. spray a large saucepan with non-stick cooking spray. melt butter on low heat and spread to coat the bottom of the pan. add marshmallows and melt on low. stir until completely melted and remove from heat. 
2. add in rice krispies and stir until evenly coated and combined (do this fast!). press into baking dish.  
3. sprinkle with topping of choice and enjoy!

these can easily be made as regular rice krispies - just use regular marshmallows rather than peppermint! and by the way, this is a lower fat rice krispie recipe so you don't have to feel as guilty!
