1 Measure out the marshmallows, vanilla and Rice Krispies cereal into separate bowls because you will need to work quickly with this recipe.

3 Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the pre-measured cereal until fully coated.
4 Transfer the mixture into your prepared baking dish.
5 Sprinkle the sprinkles on top of the treats, and gently press them in with a rubber spatula or with greased hands.
6 Melt colored candy melts according to package directions and drizzle over your treats in whatever pattern is pleasing to you.
7 Allow to cool for 30 minutes before removing them from the dish and cutting them into squares.
