Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 10 oz. bag mini marshmallows
  • 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 11 oz. bag of Mother’s circus animal cookies
  • 3 tbsp colored nonpareils
  • 1/2 cup pink candy melts
  • 1/2 cup white candy melts
  • Non-stick cooking spray
  • Two piping bags or plastic baggies

Instructions

  • In a large microwave safe container, heat butter and mini marshmallows for 1 minute in the microwave.

  • Stir rice krispies cereal, 1 tablespoon of nonpareils, and 2 cups chopped animal cookies into melted marshmallows.
  • Spread into greased baking dish. Allow to cool completely (at least 30 minutes).
  • In separate bowls, heat candy melts in the microwave at 30 second increments, stirring between each heating, until just melted.
  • Transfer candy melts into piping bags or plastic Ziploc baggies. Snip a small hole in the point (or in the corner of the baggy) and drizzle over the cooled rice krispie treats.
  • Immediately top with whole cookies and more nonpareils. Allow candy melts to set and harden (about 15 minutes). Cut and serve.
