5½ cups chocolate rice cereal
10 oz vegan mini marshmallows
2 tbsp vegan butter
½ can sweetened condensed oat milk
Peppermint Fudge Layer
2 cups vegan chocolate chips
⅔ cup evaporated oat milk
½ tsp peppermint extract

Instructions
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.
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.
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.
