Perfect Rice Krispy Treats
"Recipe was created to use full portions of cereal (1 - 12oz box) and marshmallows (2 - 16oz bags) to reduce unused leftover ingredients. This recipe is perfect for any holiday or celebration, just adjust which colors or shapes of sprinkles you mix in to fit the occasion! TIPS: butter wrappers are a great tool to press mixture into pan, you can lightly press more sprinkles into top before cooling, if using unsalted butter add 1/2 tsp salt when adding vanilla and marshmallows to melted butter."
