Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp Salted butter
  • 10 oz Mini marshmallows
  • 5 cups Chocolate Rice Krispies cereal
  • 3-4 tbsp Espresso powder , more if you want more coffee flavor
  • ½ - ¾ cup Mini chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp Crushed candy canes , a little goes a long way here

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, melt butter over low heat.
  • Prepare a 13"x9" pan with baking spray or parchment paper.
  • Add in your marshmallows and espresso powder and stir until marshmallows are melted.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Add in cereal and mix thoroughly. Add in the chocolate chips and crushed peppermint candy canes. Mix again until well combined.
  • Press into your prepared pan. Press any additional toppings in to the top. I added some additional chocolate chips and crushed candy canes.
  • Place in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until stiff.

Notes

The crushed candy canes are a strong flavor so if you don't want a lot of peppermint flavor, don't add as much crushed candy canes.
