Ingredients:
- 4 Tbsp butter or margarine (divided by 4)
- 40 Marshmallow Peeps (divided by 4/different colors)
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal (divided by 4)
Instructions:
- Prepare an 8–9″ loaf pan by lining with foil and spraying lightly with cooking spray.
- Divide the Peeps by the same color — 10 pink, 10 yellow, etc.
- In a medium-sized microwave dish with high sides, microwave the 10 Peeps and 1 tablespoon of butter on high for 45 seconds.
- Stir butter and Peeps together until fully melted and incorporated.
- Stir in 1 1/2 cups cereal until fully coated. Press firmly into the loaf pan.
- Repeat steps 3–5 with the other Peeps colors.
- Allow to cool completely (1–2 hours) before slicing.
