Melt the white coating by placing it in a bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir and continue heating in 15 second intervals, stirring well between, until fully melted. Stir in peppermint extract.
Spread the white coating across the rice krispies sheet. Let it sit until the white coating is firm, approximately 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
Heat the milk or dark chocolate coating the same way you did the white, stirring often.
Spread the chocolate across the Rice Krispie Treat Sheet. Immediately sprinkle the top with the Candy Cane Grind. Cool or let sit until firm.
Cut into squares and enjoy! (A warm knife will help keep the coating from breaking.)
