Step 1
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
Step 3
Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir constantly until fully melted and smooth.
Step 4
Stir in the green food coloring a few drops at a time, adjusting the color to your preference for a festive St. Patrick's Day hue.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, mixing until the cereal is evenly coated with the green marshmallow mixture.
Step 6
Gently fold in half of the St. Patrick's Day sprinkles, reserving the other half for decoration.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and use a greased spatula or wax paper to press it down evenly.
Step 8
Sprinkle the remaining St. Patrick's Day sprinkles over the top, pressing lightly to help them stick.
