Ingredients

  • 100 ml or 1/2 cup

    margarine or butter

  • 1.25 L or 5 cups

    miniature or 40 regular (250 g pkg) marshmallows

  • 2 ml or 1/2 tsp

    vanilla extract (optional)

  • 1.5 L or 6 cups

    Rice Krispies® Holiday edition cereal

  • 0.75 L or 3 cups

    Kellogg’s® Crispix® cereal

  • 1 ¼ cup

    holiday themed milk chocolate candies + more for decorating, divided

  • ¼ cup

    white chocolate, melted (Optional)

Directions

1.     Lightly grease a 9x13” baking pan. Line with parchment paper for easy removal. Set aside.

2.     Place a large saucepan over low heat. Add the butter or margarine and heat until melted. Add the marshmallows, stir until melted and smooth before stirring in the vanilla extract if using.

3.     Remove from the heat, add the Rice Krispies® holiday edition cereal, and Kellogg’s® Crispix® cereal to the saucepan, stir until well coated. Allow to cool for 5-8 minutes and stir in 1 cup of milk chocolate candies.

4.     Empty the saucepan into the prepared baking pan and press into the pan using a lightly buttered spatula. Top with additional milk chocolate candies and press lightly.

5.     Add the white chocolate to a microwave safe bowl and microwave on HIGH for 60-90 seconds until melted. Drizzle over the tray of holiday squares with a spoon or a piping bag with a fine tip. Allow to harden for 8-10 minutes before slicing into squares.

Recipe Notes

If the Rice Krispies® cereal portion is hot when the candy is added they will melt a bit but it's still delicious!

For extra gooey treats add an extra ½ cup of marshmallows.

White chocolate can be melted in the microwave or with a double boiler.
