Instructions
- Spray a 10 x 7 pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Combine the butter and marshmallows in a large mixing bowl and place in the microwave. Heat on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
- If not completely smooth, microwave for another 30 seconds.
- Immediately stir well until the butter is fully mixed into the marshmallows.
- Quickly add the cereal and mix well until the cereal is fully covered.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Spread even and press down to compact the mixture.
- Cover in sprinkles and lightly press on the sprinkles to press them against the marshmallow so they stay stuck.

Notes
● The sprinkles I link to specifically are free of any contaminants for allergy-free treats. So, it’s important to read the back of your ingredients to ensure they’re safe, even if it’s not listed in the ingredients.
● I use the name-brand mini marshmallows because they don’t have contaminants and they seem to melt easier than off brand.
● You can use other size pans, if desired. For example, if you want a thinner treat, use a bigger pan.
● Don’t overheat the marshmallows or they will taste burnt or turn out chewier than normal.
