Description
These vibrant, crispy squares combine Rice Krispies, marshmallows, and Circus Animal Cookies for a fun and nostalgic treat.
Ingredients
- 9 ounces Circus Animal Cookies
- 10 ounces Mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Multi-colored nonpareils
- 3 tablespoons Colored sprinkles
- 1/2 cup White chocolate chips
- 1-2 drops Red food coloring
- 1/2 teaspoon Heavy cream (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by greasing a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place Circus Animal Cookies in a food processor and pulse until you’ve got a fine crumb. Set aside 1/2 cup of these crumbs for later use.
- In a large pot, melt unsalted butter and mini marshmallows over low heat, stirring until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Once melted, remove the pot from heat. Gently fold in Rice Krispies, the cookie crumbs, and 2 tablespoons each of nonpareils and sprinkles until everything is coated evenly.
- Press the gooey mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top it off with the reserved cookie pieces for extra beauty and crunch.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips in short increments until smooth. Use a spatula to drizzle the melted chocolate over the treats.
- Add a drop or two of red food coloring to a portion of the melted chocolate, stirring to combine, and then drizzle this over the top in the opposite direction for a fun decorative effect.
- Finally, sprinkle the remaining nonpareils and colored sprinkles on top for an added pop of color.
- Allow the treats to cool and set completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
For added pizzazz, consider pairing these treats with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a side of whipped cream.
