Peppermint Chocolate Rice Cereal Bars

While shopping for our shoe box stuff the other day for Operation Christmas Child I spotted PEPPERMINT MARSHMALLOWS (the caps = pure excitement:)

Immediately my head went to rice cereal bars (of course) and then the compounding of flavors started.   With savory foods this normally ends  with “put bacon on/in it!” (or cheese:)  For this delicious treat though it went something like this:

PEPPERMINT rice cereal bars?  Yum.

Peppermint CHOCOLATE rice cereal bars?  Even better.

Peppermint chocolate rice cereal bars WITH VANILLA CHIPS? How could I not!!

This is a simple, delicious recipe that’s ideal for the busy holiday season.  I was able to make these with daycare in full swing and a baby in my arms in less than 15 minutes (during snack time actually:)

Want the recipe?  Feel free to print the  Peppermint Chocolate Rice Cereal Bars Recipe or “Pin It” for future use!

I was planning to bring these to my sister-in-laws for Thanksgiving.  The problem?  There’s not enough left!

As always, please let me know if you try these.  Feedback always appreciated.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!

Blue Skies, Pumpkin Pies, and Blessings,
