How to Make Kaleidoscope Treats

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter over low heat. Add 1 (10 ounce) bag of marshmallows and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  4. Add 6 cups of your favorite crisp rice cereal and 1 cup of salted peanuts. Stir gently but thoroughly until the cereal is evenly coated.
  5. Stir in 2 cups of your favorite colorful candy pieces (e.g., M&Ms, sprinkles, chopped candy bars).
  6. Quickly transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Use a buttered spatula or wax paper to press the mixture evenly into the pan.
  7. Let the treats cool completely at room temperature.
  8. Once cooled, cut into bars and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
