- 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
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.
