Description
Festive Cocoa Krispie Treats are filled with peppermint chocolate cookies and topped with crunchy peppermint candies, perfect for holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Units
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 (10 oz) (285 g) package mini marshmallows
- 4 cups (960 ml) Cocoa Krispies or any chocolate rice cereal
- 14 Peppermint Chocolate Cookies (such as peppermint Oreos), roughly chopped
- 2 cups (480 ml) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 15 Andes Peppermint Crunch candies, chopped, or 1 cup (240 ml) Andes Peppermint Crunch baking chips
Instructions
- Line a 9×13″ baking dish with aluminum foil and lightly spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the pot from the heat and quickly stir in the Cocoa Krispies until they are well coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Gently fold in the chopped peppermint chocolate cookies until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it evenly into the corners and smoothing the top with a spatula.
- To melt the chocolate chips, place them in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second increments until melted, then transfer to a plastic bag.
- Cut the tip off one corner of the bag, then drizzle half of the chocolate over the krispie treats.
- Sprinkle the chopped Andes Peppermint Crunch candies over the melted chocolate and lightly press them down so they stick.
- Drizzle the remaining chocolate over the candies.
- Refrigerate for about 15 minutes to let the chocolate harden, then cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- These treats are perfect for holiday cookie trays or gift bags.
- Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- For a fun variation, try using different flavored chocolate cookies or adding a drizzle of white chocolate on top.
