Preparation
In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat.
Add the mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
Remove from heat and add the rice cereal, stirring until all the cereal is well coated.
Let the mixture cool slightly, then fold in the holiday sprinkles.
Grease your hands and shape the mixture into small balls.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days or wrap each ball in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving. Use low heat to avoid burning marshmallows and grease hands for easy shaping.
