- 1 cup Crisped rice cereal
- 1 teaspoon Peppermint extract
- 1/2 cup Crushed candy canes
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dairy-free dark chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Microwave the chocolate mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
Stir in the peppermint extract, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Add the crisped rice cereal to the chocolate mixture, stirring gently to coat the cereal fully with chocolate.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the crushed candy canes evenly on top, pressing them gently to adhere.
Allow the mixture to cool and set completely in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
Once set, use the parchment overhang to lift the bars from the dish. Cut into squares and serve.
