Vegan Peppermint Fudge Rice Krispie Treats

Hi friends! Meet your new favorite vegan holiday treat- Vegan Peppermint Fudge Rice Krispie Treats!

If you love to keep a box or two of frozen thin mint girl scout cookies in your freezer, these Vegan Peppermint Fudge Rice Krispie Treats are a MUST-TRY. They are crunchy, chewy, refreshingly minty, and oh so chocolatey.

These Vegan Peppermint Fudge Rice Krispie Treats are made with a secret ingredient to make them extra chewy and delicious- vegan sweetened condensed oat milk! The result is a much softer rice krispie treat than those made with just marshmallows and butter.

The peppermint fudge topping also has a secret weapon adding to the decadence and chewiness– evaporated oat milk! Adding a few splashes makes the chocolate set so nicely. It’s not to hard, not too soft, and just perfect to sink your teeth into.

You’ll need:

• Chocolate rice cereal
• Vegan mini marshmallows
• Sweetened condensed oat milk
• Vegan butter
• Vegan chocolate chips
• Evaporated oat milk
• Peppermint extract
• Candy canes

The condensed oat milk and evaporated oat milk are the latest creations by my friends at Nature’s Charm! You can find their products in the bakery aisle of most health food stores, or online. Their condensed coconut milk and evaporated coconut milk work perfectly in this recipe if the oat products are not in stock!

• ⅔ cup evaporated oat milk
• ½ tsp peppermint extract

Instructions

1. Line a baking dish with parchment paper and lightly butter the sides. Melt the butter in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Add the marshmallows then stir in the condensed oat milk. Keep stirring gently until the marshmallows are melted in evenly mixed in.
2. Add the cereal to a large bowl. Stir in the marshmallow mixture into the cereal until evenly combined. Press the cereal into the baking dish. Chill in the freezer while you make the fudge layer.
3. Melt the chocolate chips in a small saucepan on low heat. Add the evaporated milk and peppermint extract. Stir well. Pour the chocolate over the rice crisps in an even layer. Cover with crushed candy canes. Freeze until the chocolate firms then cut into slices.

Notes

To make a traditional chocolate recipe with no peppermint, add 1 tbsp vanilla extract to the marshmallow mixture. Omit the peppermint from the fudge layer and swap the candy canes for rainbow sprinkles.
