Method
Prepare the pan
- by lining an 8x8 or 9x9 inch square pan with parchment paper or a light coating of nonstick spray. This ensures your treats come out cleanly without any sticky mess.
Melt the base ingredients
- In a large pot or Dutch oven melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over low heat. It is important to keep the heat low so the butter does not brown too quickly.
- Add 1 package (10 ounces) of mini marshmallows to the melted butter. Stir constantly with a silicone spatula until the marshmallows are completely smooth and melted.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Gently fold in 6 cups of crispy rice cereal. Work quickly but carefully to ensure every piece of cereal is coated in the cinnamon marshmallow mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to your prepared pan. Use a piece of greased parchment paper or a buttered spatula to press the mixture down gently. Do not pack it too tightly or the treats will be hard to bite into.
Cool and decorate
- Let the treats cool at room temperature for at least 20 minutes.
- While cooling, melt 1 cup of white chocolate melting wafers in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top of the treats in a zig-zag pattern. Immediately sprinkle purple, green, and gold sanding sugars over the wet chocolate so they stick perfectly.
- Once the chocolate has set, cut them into 16 squares and serve.

Notes
For a deeper flavor, try browning the butter slightly before adding marshmallows. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 6 weeks. Hide a plastic baby in one treat for fun. Vegan option: Use plant-based butter and marshmallows. Gluten-free: Ensure rice cereal is certified gluten-free.
