Festive Vegan Matcha Rice Krispie Treats

Ingredients

2 bags Dandies vegan marshmallows
3/4 cup vegan butter
1 tablespoon almond milk, or milk of choice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons good quality matcha powder, sifted
7-8 cups crispy rice cereal, see notes
8 chocolate covered wafers cut in half for the stumps, see notes
1/3 cup vegan white chocolate to decorate, optional
pink peppercorns or sprinkles to decorate, optional

Instructions

Line a 9"x 13" baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
In a pot melt the butter on medium heat. Add the almond milk and vanilla extract and stir.
Add the marshmallows. Stir occasionally until completely melted. Vegan marshmallows don't melt as well as conventional ones. They are more sticky and thick.
Once melted sift in the matcha powder and stir until incorporated. It will take a bit of elbow grease to mix it.
Add the crispy rice cereal to a very large bowl. Add in the marshmallow mixture and stir.
Transfer the mixture to the lined baking tray and use a spatula to spread it out evenly. Let it cool for about 30 minutes.
Once cooled remove it from the baking tray. Cut in half lengthwise. Take one half and cut it into 7 triangles. You will have 2 leftover half triangles from each end. They can be stuck together and trimmed to make another triangle. You should have 8 triangles in total. Repeat with the other half.
Melt the white chocolate and use a piping bag to decorate. Top with pink peppercorns or sprinkles. If using chocolate wafer cookies for the base, cut them in half. Use a bit of the melted white chocolate to stick them onto the trees.
They can be stored in a sealed container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 5. Enjoy!

Notes

*Any type of crispy rice cereal will work. Adjust the amount if needed. If you like them more soft and gooey use 7 cups crispy rice. If you like them more firm add 8 cups.

*I used chocolate covered wafer cookies for the stumps. Use any type of chocolate or cookies.
