Rice Krispie treats are such an easy filler for parties and they are always a crowd-pleaser. To fit the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse birthday theme, I mixed in some Clubhouse-colored M&M’s and cut the marshmallow treats out with a Mickey Mouse cookie cutter.

To fit the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme, I mixed in some Clubhouse-colored M&M’s and cut the marshmallow treats out with a Mickey Mouse cookie cutter.

Ingredients

4 Tbsp butter
40 large marshmallows or 5 cups mini marshmallows
5 cups Rice Krispie cereal
2-3 large spoonfuls of marshmallow creme
1/2-3/4 cup red and blue M&M’s

Instructions

Combine the cereal and the M&M’s in a bowl and mix them well.
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat.
Add the marshmallows to the melted butter and stir them constantly until they have completely dissolved.
Remove the pan from the heat and add the rice krispie cereal/M&M combo, working quickly to stir the melted marshmallows and cereal together before the marshmallow mixture starts to harden.
Stir in a couple of spoonfuls of marshmallow creme to reach your desired consistency.
Spread the mixture into a greased 9×13 pan.
To prevent sticking, wet your hands with water or use a damp paper towel to press the rice krispie treats into the pan.
Let the treats set for 15-20 minutes.
Then use cookie cutters to cut them into Mickey Mouse icons.
Store the treats in a sealed container or a Ziploc bag to prevent them from drying out.
