Peppermint Rice Krispie Treats

I found peppermint marshmallows at Wal-mart today and was TOTALLY excited. I have an obsession, all things peppermint!  So I thought, I could totally make rice krispie treats with them.  Then a friend of mine sent me a message with a recipe for turkey rice krispie treats.  So I of course improvised and made these...

INGREDIENTS:
3 TBS- Butter
1 pkg (10 oz)- Peppermint Marshmallows
6 Cups- Rice Krispies Cereal
1 Cup- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1/2 TBS- Oil
1/2 C- Wilton's White Chocolate Chips

DIRECTIONS:
Melt butter in pot (I used my 12" Executive Skillet) on medium heat, add marshmallows and stir until completely melted with burner on low heat.  Once melted, remove from heat and add cereal.  Mix them up well.  Oil your hands, so that the rice krispies don't stick.  Take the Large Scoop and scoop out a measured amount.  Roll it in your hands. Place on wax paper or foil and allow to cool.  Continue until all the krispies are rolled.
After they are all rolled and chilled you will be ready to either dip them or just drizzle them with the chocolate.

To Dip:
For Semi-Sweet Chocolate~ Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave dish, the Small Batter Bowl works perfect!  Add the oil and melt for about 2 minutes, in 30 second intervals.  Making sure that you stir and scrape the sides well using the Mini Mix 'N Scraper.  Take a ball at a time and dip half into the chocolate.  Allow to cool on the Stackable Cooling Rack.

For White Chocolate~ Follow same directions as above, omitting the oil.

To Drizzle:
Melt the chocolate as directed above.  Use a fork, dip it into the chocolate and basically "fling it" back and forth over the balls.

Hope you enjoy them!
