Instructions
Rice Krispie Treats
In a microwave safe bowl melt butter and 4 ½ cups mini marshamallows together in 20 second increments, stirring inbetween. Once completely melted and combined add in salt and vanilla. Then add in cereal and stir until completely coated.
Mix in marshmallow cream. Once marshmallow cream is completely incorporated, stir in the reserved 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows.
Line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper or foil and spray with cooking spray. Pour all of the mixture into the 9x13 pan. Grease your hands and really push down on the rice krispie treats so they are compact and evenly distributed across the pan.
Let cool then take your cookie cutters and punch out your desired shapes.
Decoration
In a microwave safe bowl add small amount of desired candy melts. Microwave in 15 second increments, stirring in between. Once smooth and melted, load into a plastic bag or piping bag. If using a plastic bag or disposable piping bag, snip a tiny hole in the tip.
Pipe your decorations on to your rice krispie treats, immediately add any desired decorations like sprinkles or shredded coconut. Chill until chocolate hardens.
