Step 1
Prepare a 9x9-inch square baking dish by lightly greasing it with butter or nonstick spray and lining it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 4
Remove the pot from heat and immediately stir in the crispy rice cereal until fully coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Step 5
Gently fold in the gummy candies, chocolate chips, and pretzel sticks, being careful not to crush the ingredients.
Step 6
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish using a buttered spatula or your hands (lightly greased).
Step 7
Sprinkle the colored sprinkles generously over the top, pressing them gently to adhere.
Step 8
Let the mixture cool and set for 1 hour at room temperature or 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Once set, lift the dessert out of the dish using the parchment paper and cut it into 12 squares.
Step 10
