- In a VERY large bowl, pour in rice cereal and then pour melted marshmallows on top of the cereal and immediately mix until all is well combined and the cereal is completely coated
- Completely cover bottom / sides of either a 9x9 pan (extra thick) or a 13x9 pan pan with parchment paper and then spray the UP side of the parchment paper with a light coated of non-stick spray
- Pour cereal into the pan and then spray your hand with that same non-stick spray. Using your hand as a spatula, press the rice krispie treats down until even.
- Let cool on the counter or place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- To make Buttercream Frosting, in a large bowl and using an electric mixer, whip your butter until creamy. Add in your powdered sugar, vanilla, cream and salt. Mix to combine. Spread frosting on top once completely cool and then add on the sprinkles. Serve immediately
Notes
You may also use a tub of store bought cake frosting in place of the homemade buttercream frosting.
