You need:
- 1-8 in round cake pan
- plastic wrap
- cooking spray
- 4 cups crispy rice cereal
- 2 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 1bgag (aprox. 10oz) marshmallows
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 2Tbs milk
- rainbow sprinkles
Step 1: Prep the Pan
- Using 2 sheets of plastic wrap, line the inside of the cake pan and press it along the bottom and edges.
- spray the bottom and sides of the coated pan with a liberal amount of cooking spray and set the pan aside.
Step 2: Make the Crispys
- Mix the two cereals together in a medium bowl to evenly distribute the colorful flakes.
- In a large bowl, melt one stick of butter (1/2 cup) in the microwave for 1 minute. It should be mostly melted at this point.
- Add the marshmallows and microwave for another 2 minutes or until the marshmallows have nearly tripled in size.
- Mix the butter and marshmallow together quickly and add the cereal.
- Mix the mixture until the cereal is evenly coated.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan and press it down with a spoon.
- Slightly dampen your hands and firmly press the crispy down and along the sides to make a flat solid surface then set aside.
Step 3: White Chocolate Ganache
- Pour the the chocolate chips and milk into a small bowl.
- Microwave the chips for 30 seconds; stir the chip mixture around.
- Continue melting the chocolate in 30-second intervals until the chocolate is a sooth sauce. It took me about 2 minutes, but microwave times will vary.
- Once fully melted, pour the ganache on the center of your crispy treat cake. Carefully spread the chocolate to the edges. Tap it on the counter a few times to evenly distribute the chocolate.
Step 4: Final Touches
- Add sprinkles on top of the ganache.
- Put it in the fridge (for about an hour) or the freezer (about half hour) to set the chocolate topping.
- Gently lift the crispy out of the pan using the plastic wrap.
- Peal down the sides of the plastic wrap and slice into cake pieces.
- Finish the slice with a candle, and a good luck wish! P.S. it doesn't have to be your Birthday to make a wish!
ENJOY!
