You can either grease it or line it with parchment paper. Greasing is quick and easy. Just spray the dish with non-stick spray. This helps the treats come out smoothly. Lining with parchment paper is a great option too. It makes removal even easier. Just place the paper in the dish, leaving some overhang. This way, you can lift the treats out when they cool. Next, let’s melt the butter and marshmallows. Use a large saucepan and set the heat to low. Low heat is key here. It helps prevent burning. Add the butter first and let it melt fully. After the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows. Stir them in well. Keep stirring until they melt completely and blend with the butter. This should create a smooth mixture. Now, it’s time to mix everything together. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract. This adds a nice flavor to the treats. Then, gradually add the Rice Krispie cereal. Mix it in slowly. You want all the cereal to be well coated. Once combined, fold in the birthday cake-flavored sprinkles. If you like, add some white chocolate chips too. Stir gently to keep the sprinkles intact. Now, pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a greased spatula or a piece of wax paper to press it down. Make sure it's even and firm. This helps the treats hold their shape. While the mixture is still warm, sprinkle extra birthday-themed sprinkles on top. This makes them look festive and fun. Finally, let the treats cool for about 30 minutes before cutting them into squares. Enjoy your tasty creation! You can find the Full Recipe for Birthday Cake Rice Krispie Treats above. To avoid sticky treats, follow these tips: - Use fresh marshmallows. Old marshmallows can be hard and dry. - Grease your hands. Lightly butter your hands while pressing the mixture. - Don’t overmix.
