1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Don't skip this. It enhances the sweetness.

Vanilla extract adds a subtle warmth.
Sprinkles. Are non-negotiable for these Birthday Rice Krispies Treats . They add the fun!

If you're out of vanilla, a tiny dash of almond extract could work. But really, go get some vanilla.

Equipment Needed: Keep It Simple, Stupid

9x13 inch baking pan. This is the golden standard for these Cereal Bars .
Large saucepan. Non-stick is your friend here.
Rubber spatula. Helps you get every last bit of marshmallow.
Measuring cups and spoons. Obvious, right?

What's the best way to store Funfetti Rice Krispies Treats so they stay soft?

To keep your Funfetti Rice Krispies Treats soft and chewy, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. Adding a slice of bread to the container can also help to maintain moisture, just like keeping a Victoria Sponge from drying out!
