Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 package (10 oz) marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- Chocolate chips for decoration
- Red and yellow sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by lightly greasing it with butter or cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large non-stick saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Make sure to stir constantly to prevent burning.
- Add the entire package of marshmallows to the melted butter. Stir continuously until marshmallows are completely melted and smooth, creating a creamy mixture.
- Remove the pan from heat and immediately add Rice Krispies cereal. Gently fold and mix until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Using a spatula or buttered hands, press the mixture evenly and firmly into the pan.
- Allow the mixture to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes until it becomes firm.
- Once cooled, use a Mickey Mouse-shaped cookie cutter to cut out treat shapes from the pan.
- Melt chocolate chips and use them to create Mickey Mouse ears and facial details on each treat.
- Decorate with red and yellow sprinkles to add color and festive appearance.
- Let the chocolate decorations set completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.
