Instructions
Grease a 9 x 13" dish with canola oil spray You can use a 9x9" or 8x8" dish as well this will just make thicker bars.
Make The Bars
In a large pot melt the butter.
Take 2 cups of the marshmallows and set aside for later. Add the rest (about 6 cups) to the pot with the butter. Stir frequently until the marshmallows melt. Once melted, add in the vanilla and salt.
Remove the pot from the stove. Fold in the cereal . Continue to fold/stir until all the cereal is covered. Now add in the extra marshmallows and two tablespoons of the crushed marshmallows and ¼ cup of chopped white chocolate or white chocolate chips. stir until they are evenly distributed throughout the gooey goodness.
Dump your creation into the greased pan and then press it all down with your hands to make it even on the top. (it really helps to oil your hands first or to have water on them)
Topping
Sprinkle some of the crushed candy can over top of the bars.
Melt the white chocolate in 30 second increments in the microwave with the power set to 50%, stir in between each 30 second session. It should take about 1.5-2 mins in total. Using a fork, you can drizzle the white chocolate over the bars using a quick sweeping motion. Alternatively, you can using a piping bag with a small hole cut.
Once chocolate drizzle is on, sprinkle on remaining candy canes.
Let the bars set
Cover the dish with saran wrap and let your bars set until cooled completely (1-2 hours on the counter or about 25 minutes in the fridge)
