- Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
- White chocolate, melted (for drizzle)
Instructions
- Melt the Butter and Marshmallows:
- In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat, stirring frequently to avoid browning.

- Transfer to Baking Dish:
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour the Rice Krispie mixture into the dish and press it down evenly with a greased spatula or your hands.
- Let Cool and Decorate:
- Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until set.
- Drizzle melted white chocolate over the top and decorate with candy corn and sprinkles.
- Slice and Serve:
- Cut the treats into squares or rectangles.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later.
Notes
