 Welcome back to my channel and welcome to another video in my 2019 holiday baking a series You guys loved last week's video So I am here again to share with you a de Delicious ww friendly holiday treat now this one is a special one Not only is it all of the flavors of the holidays It is ww friendly and it is made with real sugar There is nothing sugar for your artificial in this recipe and it still is ww friendly and we can work it Into our day and let me just tell you it is delicious So if you want to see what I have in store for you for the second video in my 2019 holiday baking series just stay tuned For today's 2019 holiday baking video We are going to be making a spin on the traditional rice crispy treat and we are going to be making peppermint rice crispy treats Perfect in time for the holidays. There is no artificial sugar in these so if you are sensitive to that This is going to be a huge win for a recipe for you Great to make with your kids for the holidays Super easy super delicious and super fun. So let me show you what is in our peppermint rice crispy treats Of course, you're going to need some rice krispies Candy canes you can use the large or the mini because we are going to crush these up White chocolate chips. I'm going to be using the bake believe if you use a traditional white chocolate chip You are going to have to count extra points for that So I guess in this case this does have artificial sweetener. These are actually stevia sweetened So one of the better artificial sweeteners again You can substitute a regular white chocolate chip just recalculate the points or lower the amount of white chocolate chips You're also going to need some peppermint extract Light butter and I'm going to be using the trader Joe's peppermint marshmallows If you do not have a trader Joe's near you you can just use regular marshmallows Because between the peppermint extract and the candy canes you're definitely going to have those peppermint vibes So let's get started on these rice crispy treats So the first thing that I did is I measured out eight tablespoons or 120 grams of my white chocolate chips That's a lot of white chocolate chips So if you are going to use a traditional sugar chip You definitely could have this and still have quite a bit of white chocolate, but these particular ones you can have 15 grams Which is one tablespoon. So I calculated 120 grams eight tablespoons So our very first step is we're going to go ahead and add four tablespoons of I can't believe it's not butter light To a large pan because we're putting everything in here our marshmallows our rice Krispies all the things So go ahead and add your butter once it starts to melt down. We're going to add in our marshmallows All right, our butter is just about melted. So we're going to go ahead and add in our peppermint marshmallows This is only a six ounce bag the recipe calls for 12 ounces of marshmallows My points are calculated on six because I wanted to keep the points a little bit lower And I'm hoping that this is going to be enough marshmallows So we're going to let these peppermint marshmallows melt down a bit by the way you guys they smell really really delicious So unfortunately six ounces of marshmallows was not enough So I would recommend two bags of the Trader Joe's peppermint marshmallows Or you can do what I did here and add in one bag of the peppermint marshmallows and then six additional ounces of just Regular marshmallows. It just wasn't going to be marshmallowy and thick enough to coat the cereal So I'm going to recalculate the points. I'm just going to have to lower the Portion size to keep the points Reasonable so of course, I'll let you know all of the points at the end So I'm going to let this melt a little bit more and we'll add in our extract and our cereal So our marshmallows are just about melted. I did go ahead and remove it from the heat I'm going to add in just the tiniest bit of the peppermint extract Literally just a couple of drops and stir that in now You can test it and make sure that it's pepperminty enough for you and then we're going to add in our riced cereal All right, let's add in some cereal. So I'm going to start with four cups of Rice Krispies. I do have an additional two cups here that we're going to add in So go ahead and add a portion of your cereal start stirring until your rice Krispies are nice and coated With the marshmallow mixture and then we'll get ready to put these into a pan We are going to be melting our milk chocolate and our candy canes. It's going to be delicious So I'm going to get this cereal all stirred in and I'll be back to show you the next step All right, here's our marshmallow rice Krispies mixture. Oh my gosh, you guys this smells So good pepperminty and sweet Yum, so I'm going to go ahead and just get this pushed down I want my rice Krispy treats to be pretty darn even in size And then we are going to melt our milk chocolate chips So here are our rice Krispy treats. Look how nice and thick those are This is a six by nine pan. So next I'm going to take my white chocolate chips here I'm going to throw those into the microwave just until they are melted So just about a minute or so until they're melted through and then we're going to spread those on top of our rice Krispy treats And then we'll get ready to do our candy canes So for our candy canes, I went ahead and put six candy canes in my ziploc bag I just have a glass here and I'm just going to crush them lightly crush up the candy canes And then we're actually going to sprinkle those on top of the white chocolate. This looks so good. You guys cannot wait So let me get these nice and crushed up and we'll sprinkle them on top. All right So crushed up candy canes rice Krispy treats So I'm just going to take my hand and I'm just going to sprinkle The candy canes over the top of the white chocolate They will stick nicely into those white chocolate chips when they dry You can even just kind of push them in if you're worried about them sticking But there's plenty to just put over the whole top of our rice Krispy treats. How fun What a festive twist on your regular everyday rice Krispy treats So get these candy canes on there We're going to let these cool and harden a little bit and then I'll cut them into the serving sizes And then I'll give you the smart points So here they are you can see that we've dug into them actually pulled one out to show you the size My husband had a section I had a section you guys these are delicious They definitely have that feel of peppermint but not too overpowering The crunch of the candy canes is delicious the white chocolate Yum, so I cut mine into 24 servings So what I did I get a lot of questions about this is I cut it this way Six times so into six pieces and then this way Four and that gave 24 servings and this is the size of the serving. So this is a small plate So I would say that the size of rice Krispy treat is about a two by two square and remember these are made with marshmallows and candy canes and a Two by two square or 24th of the recipes. So 24 servings is five smart points So not bad if you're looking for a good treat to take to like a holiday party or gathering Five smart points for a rice Krispy treat is not too bad. So Happy holidays. I hope that you enjoy making these with your family. They taste delicious I will definitely tell you that in my opinion well worth five smart points because they taste really delicious Thank you for joining me on my second video in my 2019 holiday baking series I hope you enjoyed these rice Krispy treats.
