9x13 inch baking pan

B-DAY CEREAL SQUARES

FYI: The marshmallows will balloon up in a hilarious way when you microwave them, so make sure you use an oversized bowl. Swap the cereal for whatever you love most (or conveniently whatever you’ve got in the cupboard)!

STEP 1: PREP!

Spray your baking pan and fully cover the bottom of the pan with sprinkles.

STEP 2: MELT!

In a very large, microwave safe bowl, melt the butter and marshmallows together for 2 minutes. Remove from the microwave and stir, then microwave for 1 more minute. Stir until smooth.

STEP 3: MIX-INS!

Stir the vanilla extract into the melted marshmallows.

STEP 4: CEREAL TIME!

Add the Rice Krispies to the marshmallow mixture and stir with a spatula until every bit is coated.

STEP 5: COOL!

Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a greased spatula or with the butter paper (my grandma taught me this!). Let cool until firm, 15 to 20 minutes, then cut into 3 rows of 5 squares to make 15 treats total. Store in an airtight container on your counter for up to 5 days.
