I have made this recipe numerous times for much appreciative and grateful tasters every time! One question-on a recent trip I purchased a 3×3″ gourmet Rice Krispie square from a gift shop for a road snack. Despite the fact that this particular line of treats cost more than the other brands on display, I couldn’t resist their selling point because this treat was topped by a solid 1/4″ layer of nonpareils, convincing me to try one. While this purchased treat was not as soft and delicious as your recipe, their sprinkle layer definitely took each bite over the top. Can you offer any suggestions as to how to add such a thick (1/4″) layer of non pareils to the top of your Cake Batter Rice Krispies? I’m stumped as to what ingredient(s) was used to hold the sprinkles together so firmly without making the sprinkle layer as solid as hard candy? The sprinkles themselves were as easy to chew as the Rice Krispie layer. I wanted to try to replicate this topping over your Cake Batter Rice Krispies for an upcoming birthday celebration. Thank you for any help you can offer…

I have scoped the internet far and wide to be able to help with this question and I still have no idea how they got the sprinkles to not be hard. I found a sprinkle rice krispie recipe, but they used a layer of white chocolate to hold the sprinkles on, but that was the closest I could find or think of! https://www.bunsenburnerbakery.com/sprinkle-rice-krispie-treats/ Sorry I am not more help!
