Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter with 4 cups of mini marshmallows over low heat. Stir continuously for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Immediately pour 6 cups of puffed rice cereal into the warm marshmallow mixture. Gently fold the cereal into the marshmallows using a spatula for about 2-3 minutes.
Once combined, let the mixture cool for a couple of minutes. With greased hands, scoop out small portions and shape them into balls.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 12 ounces of white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip each rice ball in the chocolate.
Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle colorful holiday decorations over each treat.
Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
