Ingredients

  • 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • ΒΌ cup butter
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows
  • red candy melts
  • white candy melts
  • blue candy melts
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a large pot over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until melted and smooth.
  • Remove from heat and fold in cereal until coated.
  • Press mixture into a greased or lined 9x13 pan in an even layer. Let cool at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Cut into squares or shapes with a cookie cutter.
  • Melt candy melts in separate microwave-safe bowls. Transfer to piping bags for drizzling, or use for dipping.
  • Drizzle back and forth over the treats, or dip each one partially or fully. Add sprinkles immediately.
  • Place on parchment or wax paper and let set completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • The amount of candy melts or chocolate needed will depend on how you choose to decorate your treats.
  • Use piping bags for clean, controlled candy drizzle.
  • For dipped treats on popsicle sticks, add a dab of melted chocolate before inserting the stick to keep it secure.
  • Tie silk bows around the sticks for a polished, party-ready presentation.
  • Chill dipped treats to speed up setting time if needed.
