Ingredients
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

6 cups rice cereal
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
2 cups white chocolate chips or melting wafers
1/2 cup red, green, and white holiday sprinkles
Instructions
1. Melt butter in a large pot over low heat.
2. Add mini marshmallows and stir until melted and smooth. Stir in vanilla extract if using.
3. Remove from heat and quickly stir in rice cereal until evenly coated.
4. Let the mixture cool slightly, then form into bite-sized balls using greased hands.
5. Place balls on a parchment-lined tray and chill in the fridge for 15–20 minutes.
6. Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between.
7. Dip each rice crispy ball into the white chocolate and let excess drip off.
8. Immediately add sprinkles on top before the chocolate sets.
9. Let treats set at room temperature or chill until chocolate hardens.
10. Store or serve once fully set.
Notes
Use fresh marshmallows for a smoother texture and better melt.
Grease your hands with butter or oil to prevent sticking when forming the balls.
Add sprinkles quickly while the chocolate is still wet so they stick perfectly.
