Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Krispie Cereal
  • 4 Tbsp Butter
  • 10 oz Mini Marshmallows

Toppings & Mix-ins

  • 1 cup Pastel M&Ms (Easter M&Ms)
  • 1/2 cup Pastel Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Pan
    Spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. This will help prevent sticking and make it easy to remove the treats later.
  2. Melt Butter and Marshmallows
    Place the butter and mini marshmallows in a large microwave-safe mixing bowl. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Combine the Ingredients
    Carefully mix in the Rice Krispie cereal along with half of the pastel M&Ms and sprinkles. Stir gently to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  4. Press into the Pan
    Pour the mixture into the prepared 9×13 pan. Spray a piece of parchment paper with non-stick cooking spray and use it to gently press the mixture into the pan. Do not overpack the mixture to prevent the treats from becoming hard.
  5. Add Toppings
    Sprinkle the remaining M&Ms and sprinkles on top of the mixture and gently press them down to secure them.
  6. Set and Serve
    Let the Rice Krispie treats cool and set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Once set, slice them into squares, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Be gentle when mixing the M&Ms into the Rice Krispie mixture to avoid breaking them.
  • Do not refrigerate these treats, as the texture may change and become hard. Allow them to cool at room temperature to maintain their gooey and chewy texture.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 1 week.
