Instructions

Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Pulse cookies in a food processor until they are a mix of crumbs and small pieces. Reserve 1/2 cup for topping.
In a large pot, melt butter and marshmallows over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
Remove from heat and fold in the rice krispies cereal, cookie crumbles, and 2 tablespoons of each type of sprinkles.
Gently press the mixture into the prepared baking dish using a greased silicone spatula.
Top with the reserved cookie pieces.
Melt white chocolate chips in two separate bowls in the microwave for 30 seconds each, until smooth.
Drizzle the first bowl of plain white chocolate over the treats using a sandwich bag with the corner cut off.
Add red food coloring to the second bowl to make pink chocolate, then drizzle in the opposite direction.
Top with remaining sprinkles and allow to cool until set.

Notes

Store leftover treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Feel free to customize the sprinkles to match your party theme!
If desired, sprinkle a little coarse sea salt on top for a sweet and salty twist.
