Instructions

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

Notes

For a more colorful treat, use a variety of sprinkles.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Feel free to mix in other candies or cookies for extra flavor.
