Ingredients

4 cups Rice Krispies cereal

40 Peeps marshmallow chicks, assorted colors

4 tablespoons butter

sprinkles (optional, but encouraged)

Directions

In large saucepan melt butter over low heat.

Add Peeps marshmallow chicks and marvel at their puffiness until they are completely melted. *Do not stir yet!*

Remove from heat and add Rice Krispies cereal.

Gently fold cereal into Peeps marshmallow until it’s evenly coated and swirl together.

Coat 11 x 8 x 2-inch pan with cooking spray (trust us.) Evenly press mixture into the pan.

If you have sprinkles, add them!

Allow to cool completely then cut into 2-inch squares. Or get wild with cookie cutters!

Note: Use extreme caution when heating Peeps marshmallow; they may be hot. Handle with care.
