Cook modePrevent screen from turning off

Ingredients

• 115 g Biscoff spread (1/2 cup)
• 115g unsalted butter (1/2 cup)
• 200 g Mini Marshmallows (4 cups) (plus a couple extra for decoration)
• 200 g Pretzel sticks (5 cups)
• 100g M&Ms (1/2 cup)
• 2 tbsp funfetti sprinkles

Instructions

1. Line your 8x8-inch square tin with baking paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy lifting later. Lightly grease the parchment paper with butter.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and Biscoff spread together, stirring constantly. Once melted, reduce the heat to low and add the marshmallows. Stir until completely melted and smooth.
3. Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately pour in the pretzel sticks. Stir quickly to coat the pretzels evenly.
4. Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking tin. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly greased to prevent sticking) to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.
5. While the mixture is still warm, evenly sprinkle the M&Ms and funfetti sprinkles over the top. Press them gently into the surface to ensure they stick.
6. Allow the bars to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer them to the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes to set completely.
7. Use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Place on a cutting board and cut into squares.
