Instructions

Spray a large bowl with nonstick cooking spray and add the Rice Krispies cereal (7 cups) along with sprinkles if using. Set aside.
In a large pot over medium-low heat, combine the unsalted butter (7 tablespoons) and mini marshmallows (16 ounces). Stir constantly until smooth and melted. Remove from heat.
Immediately pour the melted mixture over the cereal in the prepared bowl. Use a greased spatula to quickly mix the Rice Krispie mixture until evenly coated.
Press the Rice Krispie mixture firmly into circular silicone molds. Lightly spray your hands or use damp hands to prevent sticking. Pack tightly to the top and smooth out the surface into an even layer.
Refrigerate the filled molds for 30 minutes to set. Remove the treats from the molds and wash and dry the molds thoroughly.
Melt candy melts (18 ounces) according to package directions. If too thick, stir in coconut oil (1–2 teaspoons) - do not add water.
Pour a thin layer of melted chocolate into each mold, filling them about ¼ of the way. Gently press each Rice Krispie treat back into the mold on top of the chocolate.
Let set at room temperature for 60 minutes. Avoid refrigerating so that treats remain room temperature for decorating.
Melt the remaining candy melts (6 ounces) in a piping or zip-top bag. Snip the tip and drizzle over the top of each treat. Finish with additional sprinkles (to taste).
Let the drizzle set fully before serving or storing in an airtight container.
