How do I make these peppermint crispy treats?

They’re very easy, and I’m not just saying that because I want you to try them! Check it out for yourself:

Melt the margarine in a non-stick pot or dutch oven. Stir in the marshmallows and cook until melted. Should take about 5 minutes.

Add in cereal, crushed candies and mint extract and stir.

Spray your hand with non-stick cooking spray. Roll the mixture into 1 inch balls and lay them on a cookie sheet lined with foil or wax paper.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.

Makes about 36 servings of 2 peppermint treats per serving.
