Melt your butter. Add in the marshmallows. Pour in the Rice Krispies. Remove from heat and press into a 13×9 pan coated with cooking spray.

The only difference is for these treats your gonna make a little space for the peeps when you’re pressing the rice krispies into your pan. And then you just pour on the sprinkles. Lots and lots and lots of sprinkles!
