Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 227 g vegan peppermint flavored marshmellows
  • 2 1/2 cups rice crispies cereal
  • 1 cherry favored candy cane crushed
  • 1 peppermint flavored candy cane crushed

Instructions

  • Crush candy canes by breaking them into small pieces and placing them in a heavy duty freezer bag. Break them into smaller pieces by pounding them with a rolling pin or a mallet. After they are in small pieces roll them with a rolling pin to further crush them. Once crushed pour into a small mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Melt the vegan butter over medium high heat in a pan. Stir it while it melts to prevent burning.
  • Once the butter has melted, add the marshmallows and stir until they have melted.
  • Once the marshmellows are melted remove from heat and add the rice crispies and crushed candy canes. Stir well until everything is well mixed.
  • While still warm press into the prepared 8x8 pan. Press down firmly and make sure the squares are even. Let cool.
  • Once cooled, cut into 16 small squares. Serve and refrigerate or freeze for later.
