Ingredients

12 ounces milk chocolate chips (2 cups + 2 tablespoons)
2/3 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
3 cups rice krispies cereal
1/2 cup mini M&Ms
2 tablespoons sprinkles

Instructions

To start, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set that aside.
Next, in a large, microwaveable bowl, melt the chocolate chips at half speed in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each increment, until melted and smooth.
Add the peanut butter and stir until well incorporated.
Set this aside to cool for 5 minutes.
Next, add the marshmallows and rice krispie cereal. Stir until they are both well incorporated.
Drop the mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet in heaping tablespoons.
Immediately top the cookies with red and green M&Ms and sprinkles.
Set the cookies aside to cool for one hour before transferring them to the fridge for another hour.
Once firm, store in a food-safe container. Keep refrigerated.
