Ingredients:
6 tablespoons butter
2 (10 1/2 ounce) packages miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (12 ounce) box crispy rice cereal
3 (2 ounce) bottles colored sprinkles, divided
1 (16 ounce) package chocolate-flavored candy coating
4 tablespoons vegetable shortening
Directions:
1. Lightly grease 2 (12-cup) muffin pans.
2. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add marshmallows, and stir constantly until melted. Remove from heat; stir in peanut butter and vanilla.
3. Add cereal and 2 bottles sprinkles, stirring until combined. Using greased hands, press into prepared pans, mounding mixture into a cupcake shape. Cool 1 hour. Remove cupcakes from pans.
4. In a medium bowl, combine candy coating and vegetable shortening. Microwave on High, in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until chocolate is melted and smooth (about 2 minutes total time).
5. Dip tops of cupcakes in melted chocolate. Immediately sprinkle with remaining sprinkles.
