- Pretzel sticks
Toppings:
- Melted white chocolate

Directions:
1. In a large pot over medium heat, melt and brown unsalted butter until a golden dark brown color forms.
2. Add marshmallows. Stir until semi melted. Add food coloring and mix until fully melted.
3. Next, add Rice Krispies and mix until fully incorporated. Working fast, flatten out on a greased 9x9 baking tray making sure that all sides are equal. Add any sprinkles at this time also. Cool for an hour or overnight.
4. Spray a sharp knife with cooking spray. Cut into 3 long pieces. Cut each long piece into 4 or 5 triangles. Eat the scraps!🤤

7. Let everything set for a minute or 2. Serve immediately, enjoy!
