    We just discovered Candy Cane Mini-Marshmallows this weekend. May have to try this with them!! - 12/23/13

    We used dark chocolate; otherwise left the other ingredients the same. My 6 year old Grand-daughter loved helping with these. - 12/22/13

    Used crushed peppermint candy that comes in a bag. I cut into bite size squares and they looked great on a cookie tray for a holiday potluck. Chocolate and crushed peppermint was really festive - and you can never go wrong with Rice Krispie treats. - 12/22/13

    I made these recently for a party at work and it was a hit! I did put the crushed candy canes under the chocolate (so they stayed adhered to the treat) and I also used white chocolate on half. I was very festive in my directional drizzling and trust me when I say this treat can be dressed up! - 2/17/15

    With the recent studies of high levels of arsenic in rice and especially in processed foods, I am staying away from foods like this. I am surprised that Sparkpeople would feature this. Sorry.
    It does sound good, though. :(

    It's beyond me why you would want to ruin a perfectly nice treat with even more sugar. The chocolate is slathered on there and it looks like a total mess. Perhaps just dipping the treat in chocolate on one side would cut down on the calories and still accomplish what you want. - 12/22/13

    Although it seems like a low calorie dessert option, there is nothing nutritious in the ingredients of this recipe. - 12/6/20

    I use mint flavored chocolate chips. It's easier and I don't have to get some candy canes. - 12/24/19
