Ingredients

Unsalted butter

1 Tbsp

Marshmallows

30 item(s)

Mint extract

½ tsp

Crispy rice cereal

5 cup(s)

Peppermint hard candy

20 item(s), crushed (about 1/2 cup)

Cooking spray

2 spray(s)

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a nonstick Dutch oven. Stir in the marshmallows and cook over low-medium heat until melted, about 5 minutes. Add the extract and cereal.
  2. Remove from heat. Stir constantly until cereal is coated with marshmallows. Stir in candies.
  3. Coat hands with cooking spray. Roll cereal mixture into 1-inch balls and place on foil-lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm. Yields about 2 balls per serving. (Note: Feel free to use colored rice cereal if available for a festive presentation. For parties, pop each ball into a mini-muffin liner and arrange on a serving tray.)
