Easter Peep Rice Krispie Treats

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Add the cereal and the reserved one cup of marshmallows to the pot and fold in just until coated. Don’t over mix or it will break down the cereal.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and using a buttered spatula (or your fingers) lightly press the mixture into an even layer.

Let the rice krispie treats set up for 30 to 60 minutes at room temperature.

Use the parchment paper to lift the rice krispie treats out of the pan and cut into squares or rectangles using the Peeps as a size guide.

Separate the treats and drizzle with melted candy melts and colorful sprinkles. Immediately top with a Peep, pressing in slightly so that as the candy sets up, the Peep will adhere to the rice krispie treat.
