12 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces white chocolate
½ cup crushed peppermint candies
20 ounces (2 bags) mini marshmallows
2 teaspoons peppermint extract
10 cups crispy rice cereal

Instructions

Grease a 9-by-13 pan-inch pan and set aside.
In a large pot over medium-low heat, combine the butter and white chocolate and stir until melted. Add crushed candies and mini marshmallows and continue stirring until marshmallows are melted.
