Ingredients
  

3 cups mini marshmallows

2 cups rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies)

1 cup colorful sprinkles (use jimmies or nonpareils for vibrant color)

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Cooking spray (for greasing the pan)

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Baking Pan: Begin by lightly greasing an 8x8 inch square baking pan with cooking spray. This will help prevent the delightful squares from sticking to the sides once they have set.

    Melt Butter and Peanut Butter: In a medium saucepan set over low heat, combine the unsalted butter and creamy peanut butter. Stir frequently with a wooden spoon until both ingredients are completely melted and achieve a smooth consistency. Once melted, promptly remove the saucepan from the heat.

      Enhance the Flavor: Add the pure vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the melted butter and peanut butter mixture. Stir well to incorporate these flavors throughout the mixture.

        Combine Cereal and Sprinkles: In a large mixing bowl, add the rice cereal. Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the cereal and gently fold everything together. Ensure that the cereal is coated evenly, but take care not to crush the cereal too much to maintain its crunch.

          Incorporate Marshmallows and Sprinkles: Next, fold in the mini marshmallows and the colorful sprinkles. Mix gently until they are evenly distributed throughout the cereal mixture, adding a burst of color and sweetness.

            Transfer to the Baking Pan: Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Using a spatula or lightly greased hands, press the mixture down firmly and evenly across the pan. It's important to pack it well to ensure that the squares hold their shape once they set.

              Chill and Set: Allow the squares to set at room temperature for approximately 1-2 hours. If you are short on time, place the pan in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes for a quicker setting process.

                Cut and Serve: Once the marshmallow squares are set, gently remove them from the pan and cut into small squares using a sharp knife. Serve immediately for the best taste or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
