Peppermint Krispie Treats
I have a serious love affair with Krispie Treats. Don’t worry, my husband is quite aware of this lover of mine! It all started in high school when my BFF and I would make a pan of plain krispie treats, cut it in half, and each eat a giant square! (Hi Steph, I miss you!!!!)
But now that I’m all grown up and such (kinda), I like to make fancy treats and have perfected how to make rice krispie treats. Ha! Fancy Rice Krispie treats? Oxymoron!
Anyways, these cuties are perfect for a holiday get together…you can use popsicle sticks or lollipop sticks if you don’t have any fun paper straws! (maybe you will win some in the giveaway?!?!)
Peppermint Krispie Treats
Peppermint Rice Krispie Treats with white chocolate.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 box (3.4 oz) Candy Cane Jell-o pudding mix
- 10oz bag mini marshmallows
- 5 cup Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 cup mini peppermint marshmallows
- 1 cup vanilla almond bark, melted
Instructions
- In large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add in bag of regular mini marshmallows, reduce heat to low. Stirring constantly, melt marshmallows completely. Remove from heat.
- Fold in pudding mix and Rice Krispies cereal. Carefully fold in peppermint marshmallows.
- Press into a parchment paper lined 9inch square baking dish. Allow to set, about 1-2 hours. Cut into small squares, pressing a straw (I cut my straws in half) into top of treat.
- Dip bottoms of each square into melted white chocolate. Set onto a piece of parchment paper and allow to set (about 15 minutes). ENJOY!

What is one of your favorite treats to make for the holidays?
As you are aware I love Rice Krispies….and pudding gives a fun twist to any treat!
Try some Gingerbread Treats or Banana Krispies
Cupcakes are an easy dessert that can feed a large group too!
My favorites (right now!) are: Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Salted Caramel Swiss Meringue Frosting and Lemon Cupcakes with Lemon Buttercream
Brownies make an appearance every year at our holidays. Especially bite sized brownies!
Hot Chocolate Santa Hat Brownies and Chocolate Brownies with White Chocolate Peppermint Buttercream

I love PYP cupcake liners! So many fun colors! I hope some are in the package if you win!
I’d love some cupcake liners for accessorizing baked goods! 🙂
I would like the cupcake liners!
I would really like cupcake liners. I have an addiction to them. Love how they can be so colorful or cute or artistic. My family laughs at me because I buy them every chance I get
I do the same thing!!! Seems like everyone is rooting for cupcake liners 🙂
After four days of searching for peppermint Jell-O pudding, I finally gave up and made a couple of substitutions. I used a 4.2 oz. box of Oreo Cookies and Cream pudding with a heaping tablespoon of finely crushed candy canes and then dipped them in Wilton’s Candy Crunch white chocolate. Can you say delish?!? Thanks for the inspiration Aimee. =)
Oops…I don’t know why my update posted to Karen’s post…sorry about that Karen.
Way to be innovative!!!! Good tip for others, thanks for sharing, and the feedback!
These look delish Aimee! I’m going to try whipping up a batch tonight.
Thanks Dawna, let me know what you think!!!
These might be the fanciest, easiest treats I’ve ever seen. So pretty! 🙂
Easy wins big points in my book…and fancy? Who knew!
Being a food blogger, I adore their cupcake liners and pretty straws!

oops, I missed out 😉 anyway, good to “meet” you!
I have looked everywhere for peppermint jello and marshmallows…where did you find them?
Hi Chris, I have found them at Walmart, Kroger and Meijer. I’ve heard KMart sells the JELL-O pudding too!!! Good luck, I hope you find them!!!
I am happy to hear that the JELL-O pudding is available at those stores because I looked on the JELL-O web site and it is not listed. I’m going to look for it.
I couldn’t find the Candy Cane pudding or Peppermint marshmallows. So I used Cheesecake pudding and crushed candy canes. It could of used a little peppermint extract for more of a peppermint flavor, but they were very good. And for future this is a great ‘base’ recipe to work with so many other flavor options. Thanks Aimee!!
Great job making it your own Tammi!! Happy Holidays 🙂
