Birthday Rice Krispies

Sometimes you just need a dessert that makes people smile the second they see it. These Birthday Rice Krispies Treats are exactly that, bright, colorful, and topped with just the right amount of sweetness.

I started with the classic marshmallowy rice cereal base, but gave it a party-ready makeover: sprinkles mixed right into the gooey treats, a smooth layer of white chocolate on top, extra sprinkles for good measure, and the cutest finishing touch, a cherry on top.
