Tips that Are Worth Mentioning!
- Line your pan: I recommend using a 9×13” pan for this recipe, but you can also use two 8×8” or 9×9” pans. The 9×13” gives the best thickness. To make it easy to remove the treats later, grease the pan with extra butter, neutral oil, or cooking spray. Then, add a parchment paper sling for easy removal. If you prefer, you can just line the bottom with parchment paper, but it may be trickier to flip the treats out.
- Add the warm rice krispie mixture: Pour the warm rice krispie mixture into the pan. The warmer it is, the easier it will be to shape.
- Press down: Use your hands, the back of a spoon, or the bottom of a greased cup or measuring cup to press down the mixture and create an even layer. Add more sprinkles on top if you like.
- Cool and cut: Let the mixture cool and harden a bit. Then, remove the treats and place them on a cutting board. Use a very sharp knife to slice them into pieces. Serve and enjoy!
