Sprinkles are always a good idea. I like to say one of my many life mottos is 'when in doubt, add sprinkles'. It has yet to steer me wrong.
The word funfetti already brightens my day but then you throw a homemade rice krispie treat in the mix and you can consider my world officially rocked. I LOVE a good old fashion rice krispie treat. They're ooey and crunchy and the perfect amount of messy to make you feel care-free. Adding a splash of vanilla and a dash of sprinkles makes this classic treat that much better
what you need to make homemade funfetti rice krispie treats
Although we already elevate this classic recipe with a splash of color, we also use wholesome natural ingredients to make these treats the epitome of elegant. Here is what I used in this recipe:
- Brown rice crisps cereal
- Vegan marshmallows (I used these)
- Almond milk (any nut milk will work)
- Vanilla
- All. The. Sprinkles.
things to know about these funfetti rice krispie treats
melting the marshmallows
Vegan marshmallows don't melt as quickly as regular marshmallows. I recommend using the mini versions instead of the jumbo ones but either will work. The almond milk helps melt the marshmallows. Just keep stirring and add a bit more almond milk if needed 1 Tbsp at a time.
adding the sprinkles
Like many things, sprinkles melt when mixed with something hot (like hot marshmallows). Wait until you mix the brown crisp cereal to add in the sprinkles and reserve a couple Tbsps to add to the top.
storing the rice krispie treats
If you find yourself with leftover treats (not likely though) store them in an air-tight container on the counter. Don't place them in the fridge as the will harden very quickly.
