# Step-by-Step Directions:

Lightly grease a 23×33 cm baking pan with butter or nonstick spray and set aside. Prepare two mixing bowls for coloring the marshmallow mixture.
02 -
In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add mini marshmallows and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat promptly to prevent overcooking.

Quickly fold half of the Rice Krispies cereal into each colored marshmallow mixture, ensuring even coating without overmixing.

Using spoons, alternate dropping pink and blue mixtures randomly into the prepared pan. Gently press down with a greased spatula to form an even layer while preserving the swirl effect.

Before the mixture sets, scatter sprinkles evenly for added texture and visual appeal.

Allow to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes until firm. Once set, cut into twists, squares, or shapes of choice for serving.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Use mini marshmallows for smoother melting; chop large marshmallows if substituted. Avoid overheating marshmallow mixture to maintain soft texture. Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 4 days; avoid refrigeration to prevent hardening.
