Cooking instruction summary:

Butter a 13" x9" baking dish, set aside. Melt butter over low heat in a large non-stick saucepan (I like to swirl the butter up along the edges of the pan to keep the marshmallows from sticking too much, just a tip =). Add marshmallows and stir constantly, until all of the marshmallows have melted. Remove from heat and stir in peppermint extract. Gently fold in Rice Krispies cereal until mixture is evenly coated. Pour mixture into buttered baking dish, and with a greased spatula evenly spread and gently press mixture into pan, set aside. Melt white chocolate or milk chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl on 50% power in 30 second intervals until melted and smooth, stirring after each interval. Evenly spread melted chocolate over Peppermint Rice Krispie Treats. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes. Cover dish with plastic wrap and allow chocolate to harden in refrigerator about 30 minutes before cutting into squares.

Food Joke

Some daze I just can't seem to focus. Old people shouldn't eat health foods. They need all the preservatives they can get A plastic surgeon's office the only place where no one gets offended when you pick your nose! I used to go to an origami class, until it folded. Today everyone wants instant gratification, no matter how long it takes. If a parsley farmer is sued, can they garnish his wages? You can lead a horse to water, but, a pencil must be lead.
