Make sure you coat the square baking pan generously so nothing sticks.
Top the cereal treats with the red and blue sprinkles and press down gently to incorporate them into the treats.
Using a star shaped cookie cutter, cut out the shapes. Depending on the size of your cookie cutter you’ll probably get around 4 stars. Of course, you can use different sizes of stars to make it fun. And enjoy the scraps as the “cook’s treat.”
