Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients, measuring them out to make the process smoother.

Assembly
- Once the chocolate is melted, pour it over the dry mixture and stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
- Gently fold in the mini marshmallows.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the mixture onto the sheet and use a spatula to flatten it out evenly.
- Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle your choice of colorful sprinkles on top.
- Allow the mixture to cool in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes.
- Once set, use a sharp knife to cut it into squares or break it into pieces.
