Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup sugar cookie mix (dry mix from the pouch)
- 1 bag marshmallows (10 ounces, about 40 large)
- 6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
Additional Ingredients
- 1/3 cup mini marshmallows
- 2 tbsp sprinkles (Christmas or other color)
- Extra sprinkles for decorating
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Grease a 9″x13″ baking tray with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Melt Butter: Place a large pot on low heat and melt the ½ cup butter slowly to avoid burning.
- Add Sugar Cookie Mix: Stir in the ½ cup sugar cookie mix continuously and cook for 1 minute to blend flavors.
- Melt Marshmallows: Add the entire 10-ounce bag of marshmallows and keep stirring until they are completely melted and well combined with the butter and sugar cookie mixture.
- Combine with Cereal: Remove the pot from heat and gently fold in the 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal using a spatula or wooden spoon. Spray the spatula lightly with cooking spray to minimize sticking.
- Add Mini Marshmallows and Sprinkles: Mix in 1/3 cup mini marshmallows and 2 tablespoons of sprinkles. The mini marshmallows will partially melt, adding texture and sweetness.
- Spread the Mixture: Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer. Press down gently but do not compress too much to keep the treats light and airy.
- Decorate: Sprinkle additional sprinkles on top for a colorful festive touch.
- Cool and Cut: Let the treats cool for about 30 minutes until set, then cut into 18 to 24 squares for serving.
Notes
- Use low heat to melt butter and marshmallows to prevent scorching.
- Lightly spraying your spatula helps prevent sticking during mixing.
- Press the mixture gently when spreading to maintain a soft, chewy texture.
- Customize sprinkles for different occasions or holidays.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
