Ingredients

  • 9 cups Rice Krispie Cereal
  • 2 10 oz bags mini marshmallows divided
  • ½ cup salted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Patriotic sprinkles red, white, and blue

Instructions

  • Prepare a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper and non stick spray. Set aside.
  • In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add the marshmallows, reserving about 2 cups of them.
  • Stir constantly until melted and smooth. Add the vanilla extract, and stir to combine. Remove from heat.
  • Add the cereal and about 2 cups of mini marshmallows. Fold into the marshmallow and butter mixture.
  • When almost combined, add in the sprinkles I usually add about ⅓ cup of them. You’ll want to reserve some for the top as well, so don’t use all that you have. Mix until the sprinkles are evenly combined throughout the mixture.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press down until it is flat. Top with sprinkles and let set for at least an hour.
  • Remove from the baking dish and cut into squares. Enjoy!
