Equipment

1 square pan 8x8 or 9x9 is great

Ingredients

1/2 cup cake mix (white, yellow or funfetti)
10 ounces marshmallows mini or regular
1/3 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1/4 cup sprinkles (I recommend using sequins or jimmies) plus additional for topping
2 ounces white chocolate chips or almond bark

Instructions

Grease a square pan (8x8 or 9x9 inch) and set aside.
Spread the cake mix on a microwave-safe plate and spread to an even layer.
1/2 cup cake mix (white, yellow or funfetti)
Microwave on high for 30 seconds; stir and repeat until it's been microwaved a total of 90 seconds. (To be extra safe, scoop the cake mix to a mound in the middle of the plate and take its temperature; you want it to be 160℉ or higher. If it's not, continue to microwave in 30 second increments). Let the cake mix cool.
In a large microwaveable bowl, add the butter and marshmallows.
10 ounces marshmallows, 1/3 cup butter
Cook on high for 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, or until the butter and marshmallows are melted.
Add the vanilla and cake mix; stir well.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Stir in the cereal and sprinkles.
4 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal, 1/4 cup sprinkles (I recommend using sequins or jimmies)
Pour into the prepared pan then using a greased rubber spatula, press the mixture into the pan.
Melt the white chocolate and drizzle over the Rice Krispie treats; top with more sprinkles if desired.
2 ounces white chocolate chips or almond bark
Let cool, cut into bars and enjoy!

Notes

Make a double-batch and press into a 9x13-inch pan for thick Rice Krispie treats or press into a jellyroll pan for thinner treats.
These make the perfect holiday treat! Use white cake mix and festive colored sprinkles to go with the season!
Rice Krispie treats are best the day you make them. However, if you have extras, keep them covered at room temperature for up to 5 days. (Don't store in the fridge as they'll harden too much).
