Instructions

  1. Line a baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.

  2. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to brown slightly and smells nutty, this should take about 2-3 minutes. Browning the butter adds a rich, toasty flavor to your Rice Krispie treats.

  3. Remove the pot from heat and stir in the mini marshmallows. Mix until fully melted and smooth.

  4. Add vanilla extract and salt, then pour in the Rice Krispies cereal. Mix until everything is evenly coated in the gooey marshmallow mixture.

  5. Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles to give your Rice Krispie treats that classic Funfetti look.

  6. Transfer the Funfetti Rice Krispie mixture to your prepared baking dish. Press it gently into an even layer. For extra fun, sprinkle a few more rainbow sprinkles on top!

  7. Let the treats sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour to firm up. Once set, lift them out of the pan using the parchment paper, slice into squares, and enjoy your colorful, chewy no-bake dessert!
