Instructions
- Line a 9”x13” baking dish with wax or parchment paper. Spritz with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Chop the multi-colored Peeps into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- Pour the crispy rice cereal into the large bowl, and set aside.
- In a very large, microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave for 30-seconds, covered.
- Once the butter has melted, add the whole Peeps.
- Melt in 45-second increments until the Peeps have melted completely. They will expand in the microwave as they melt, so keep an eye on them. (Mine took around 1.5 minutes-2 minutes.)
- Stir vigorously, then add the vanilla extract, and stir a little more.
- Pour the cereal into the marshmallow mixture, and stir quickly until the cereal is coated.
- Add the chopped Peeps, and stir until mixed in.
- Pour the cereal bar mixture to the prepared baking pan and gently spread the mixture into an even layer with a rubber spatula. (If the mixture begins sticking, spritz the spatula with the nonstick cooking spray.) Do not press down hard on the mixture, as your treats will be more compact.
- Let the treats cool completely, about 20-30 minutes.
- Cut into squares with a sharp knife, and enjoy within 2-3 days.
Notes
- I cut my treats into 2” squares. If you cut yours larger, you will have less.
- How to store: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. After this point, the treats will begin to harden.
