Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
  • 16–20 Peeps (variety of colors)
  • 6 tablespoons Butter

Toppings

  • Pastel Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Dish
    Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray to ensure the treats won’t stick when ready.
  2. Layer the Peeps
    Remove the Peeps from their packages and arrange them in a single layer, covering the bottom of the prepared pan completely.
  3. Add the Cereal
    Evenly pour the Rice Krispie cereal over the Peeps, spreading it into a uniform layer.
  4. Add Butter and Bake
    Slice the butter into thin strips and distribute them evenly over the cereal layer. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 8 minutes.
  5. Combine the Ingredients
    Spray a spatula with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Carefully stir the melted Peeps, butter, and cereal right in the pan until everything is fully mixed.
  6. Press the Mixture
    Spray a piece of wax paper with non-stick cooking spray, and use it to press the mixture firmly into the pan, creating an even layer.
  7. Decorate with Sprinkles
    Sprinkle pastel sprinkles on top of the mixture while it’s still slightly warm. Press them gently into the surface so they adhere.
  8. Let Set and Serve
    Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for 30-60 minutes until fully set. Once firm, cut them into bars, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Do not refrigerate these treats; this can make them overly hard instead of keeping them soft and gooey.
  • For long-lasting freshness, store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to one week.
  • You can swap the pastel sprinkles for seasonal or holiday-themed sprinkles for different celebrations!
