Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup sugar cookie mix (dry mix from the pouch)
- 1 bag marshmallows (10 ounces, 40 large)
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Additional Mix-Ins and Toppings
- 1/3 cup mini marshmallows
- 2 tbsp sprinkles (Christmas or other color)
- Extra sprinkles for decorating
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Grease a 9″x13″ baking tray with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
- Melt the Butter: Place a large pot on low heat and melt the ½ cup butter slowly to avoid burning.
- Add Sugar Cookie Mix: Stir in the ½ cup sugar cookie mix with the melted butter, cooking continuously for 1 minute to blend flavors and ensure the mix is heated through.
- Melt Marshmallows: Add the entire 10-ounce bag of large marshmallows to the pot and stir continuously until the marshmallows melt fully and combine evenly with the sugar cookie butter mixture.
- Combine with Cereal: Remove the pot from heat. Add 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal and gently fold using a spatula or wooden spoon coated with cooking spray to prevent sticking, making sure everything is evenly mixed.
- Add Mini Marshmallows and Sprinkles: Stir in 1/3 cup mini marshmallows and 2 tbsp sprinkles. Some mini marshmallows will melt slightly while others remain whole, adding texture and visual appeal.
- Spread Mixture into Pan: Gently spread the mixture evenly in the prepared pan without pressing down too hard — just enough to create a uniform layer.
- Decorate: Sprinkle additional sprinkles over the top for a festive look.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the mixture to cool and set for 30 minutes before cutting into 18 to 24 squares. Serve and enjoy your delicious Sugar Cookie Rice Krispies treats!
Notes
- For best results, grease your spatula with cooking spray to make mixing easier.
- Do not over-press the treats in the pan to keep them light and chewy.
- You can substitute sprinkles with your favorite colorful candies or nuts for a different texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- If you prefer a less sweet treat, reduce the amount of sprinkles or mini marshmallows.
