Ingredients

• 1 stick Butter plus 2 tbsp
• 12 oz Mini Marshmallows
• 0 Salt
• 0.5 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 6 cups Rice Cereal
• 1 cup Fancy Sprinkles Baking Confetti
• 2 oz Mini Marshmallows
• 0 additional Fancy Sprinkles Baking Confetti

Instructions

1. Over medium/low heat, place the stick of butter in a saucepan, melt and cook. Continue cooking until butter foams and releases an aromatic, nutty smell. Butter should be turning a golden color at this point.
2. When you see brown bits, remove from the stove top, and pour butter into a larger saucepan, or dutch oven. Grease an 8×8 square pan with butter.
3. Place the other 2 tbsp of butter into the pan with the brown butter. Mix until melted. Add 10 oz of marshmallow to the pan, reserve the other 2 oz for later. Using a spatula, stir marshmallows and butter until mix is smooth. Add salt and vanilla.
4. Remove pan from the heat. Pour in cereal and begin mixing. Add the baking confetti and remaining marshmallows to the mixture, stir and pour mix into a prepared pan.
5. Press mix evenly throughout the pan. Then press in more confetti and marshmallows. Let the treats set for about 30-50 minutes.
6. Slice and enjoy your festive treats!
