The image shows a close-up of a bear-shaped treat made with a textured, light brown base, likely a crispy rice cereal. The treat has three layers: the base, a smooth white icing layer that covers the top in the shape of a bear's head and ears, and white icing details outlining the ears with bright pink dots and shapes for paw pads on each ear. On top of the white icing layer at the center is a round, white ball covered with small white sprinkles, resembling a fluffy tail or nose. The treat is placed on a white plate, surrounded by thin pink paper shreds, with a soft pink background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

6 tablespoons salted butter
1 (16 ounce) bag mini marshmallows
8 1/4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
2 (10 ounce) bags white chocolate melting wafers
5 large marshmallows
White sprinkles
1/2 cup pink chocolate melting wafers

Instructions

Step 1: Place the butter in a large pan over low to medium heat. Stir until melted, then add the mini marshmallows. Continue stirring until the marshmallows have melted completely and the mixture is creamy.
Step 2: Pour in the Rice Krispies cereal and stir until the cereal is fully coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Step 3: Transfer the mixture into a buttered 9×13-inch pan. Press down gently but firmly, using butter or nonstick spray on your hands to prevent sticking. Let cool for 20 minutes.
Step 4: Cut the large marshmallows in half with clean scissors. Melt 1/2 cup of the white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Dip each marshmallow half into the melted chocolate, place it on parchment paper, and sprinkle with white sprinkles. Allow to set.
Step 5: Spray a large Mickey Mouse cookie cutter with nonstick baking spray. Use it to cut out six bunny butt shapes from the cooled Rice Krispie slab. Repress any leftover mixture into a smaller square and cut out four more shapes.
Step 6: Melt the remaining white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Dip each cutout treat into the chocolate one at a time. Place them on a tray with the chocolate side facing up and gently press one of the prepared marshmallow tails in the center. Repeat until all treats are coated and decorated.
Step 7: Spoon the leftover white chocolate into a small zip-top bag and cut a tiny corner off. Use the bag to pipe an oval shape on each treat for the food detail. Let the chocolate set.
Step 8: Melt the pink chocolate wafers and spoon them into a small zip-top bag with a corner cut off. Pipe pink pads onto the bottom of each bunny’s feet. Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving or storing.

Tips & Variations

Use nonstick spray or butter on your hands while pressing the mixture to avoid sticking and make shaping easier.
Substitute pastel-colored sprinkles for white sprinkles to add extra color and festivity.
Try using other fun cookie cutters to create different shapes if a Mickey Mouse cutter isn’t available.
If you prefer, you can drizzle colored candy melts rather than fully dipping the treats for a lighter coating.

Storage

Store the Bunny Butt Rice Krispie Treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Keep them away from heat and humidity to maintain their texture. If you need to store them longer, refrigeration is possible but may soften the treats slightly. Reheat gently in a microwave for a few seconds if desired.

How to Serve

Two bear-shaped treats sit on a white plate over a white marbled surface, surrounded by scattered pink shredded paper. Each treat has three rounded parts, covered in smooth white frosting. The larger top part has a round white ball made of white sprinkles in the center. The two smaller bottom parts each have small pink paw prints made of icing, encircled by white frosting swirls. There is a clear bowl with white sprinkles in the top left corner and part of a third treat is partially visible on the right side. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?

Yes, you can substitute regular marshmallows, but you may need to adjust the melting time since larger marshmallows take longer to melt evenly.

What if I don’t have a Mickey Mouse cookie cutter?

Any large cookie cutter with a rounded shape will work for this recipe. You can also shape the mixture by hand or use a knife to cut into squares if you prefer.

Scale

Main Ingredients

6 tablespoons salted butter
1 (16 ounce) bag mini marshmallows
8 1/4 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Decoration

2 (10 ounce) bags white chocolate melting wafers
5 large marshmallows
White sprinkles
1/2 cup pink chocolate melting wafers

Instructions

Melt Butter and Marshmallows: Place the butter in a large pan over low-medium heat and stir until melted. Add the mini marshmallows and continue stirring until the mixture is melted and creamy.
Add Cereal: Pour in the Rice Krispies cereal and stir well until everything is fully coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Press Into Pan: Transfer the mixture into a buttered 9×13-inch pan. Press gently but firmly using buttered or nonstick-spray-coated hands to prevent sticking. Allow it to cool for 20 minutes.
Prepare Marshmallow Tails: Cut the large marshmallows in half with clean scissors. Melt 1/2 cup of the white chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Dip each marshmallow half into the melted white chocolate, place on parchment paper, and immediately cover with white sprinkles. Let them set completely.
Cut Bunny Butts: Spray a large Mickey Mouse cookie cutter with nonstick baking spray and use it to cut 6 bunny butt shapes from the cooled Rice Krispie slab. Reshape the leftover mixture into a smaller square and cut out 4 additional shapes.
Dip Treats in White Chocolate: Melt the remaining white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Dip each Rice Krispie treat one at a time into the melted chocolate, then place on a tray with the chocolate side facing up. Press one marshmallow tail in the center of each dipped treat. Repeat until all treats are coated and decorated.
Decorate Feet: Spoon the remaining white chocolate into a small ziplock bag, cut off one corner, and pipe an oval shape on each treat for the feet. Let it set completely.
Pink Chocolate Pads: Melt the pink chocolate wafers and spoon them into a small ziplock bag with a cut corner. Draw pads on the bunny feet with the pink chocolate. Allow the decorations to set fully before storing.
Store Treats: Once all decorations are set, store the Bunny Butt Rice Krispie Treats in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

Notes

Use nonstick spray or butter on your hands while pressing the mixture to prevent sticking.
Allow the marshmallow tails and chocolate decorations to fully set before handling for best results.
If you don’t have a Mickey Mouse cookie cutter, any similar three-lobed cutter or freehand shape resembling a bunny bottom will work.
Use microwave-safe bowls for melting chocolate and heat in short bursts (15-30 seconds) to prevent burning.
Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for maximum freshness.
