Line a 9 x 13 inch pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking. This will help you remove the sheet of Rice Krispies later.

In a large pot, melt the 3 tablespoons of butter over low heat.

Once the butter is melted, add 6-7 cups of marshmallows to the pot. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and well combined with the butter. This should result in a smooth, sticky mixture.

Take the marshmallows off the heat, then add one teaspoon of lemon extract to the melted marshmallows and stir thoroughly.

Add 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently fold and mix until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.

Transfer the cereal-marshmallow mixture into the lined baking dish. Use a buttered spatula or your hands (lightly greased with butter) to press the mixture evenly into the pan. You can press it down firmly but not too hard, so the treats remain soft and chewy.

While your sheet of Rice Krispies are still warm, remove them from the pan and use a star shaped cookie cutter to press star shapes out of the Rice Krispies. You may want to cover your hands and the cookie cutter in more butter.

To avoid waste, use the scraps of Rice Krispies and press them into the star cookie cutter firmly.

Once the treats are cut, set them aside to cool completely and harden.

Melt your yellow candy melts according to the package instructions. I put mine in a microwave safe bowl and used 50% power for one or two minutes until it was fully melted.

Take the cooled treats and put a bit of candy melt on the end of a stick, then insert it into the star shaped Rice Krispie treat. You may have to reform it with your fingers if the shape changes at all.

Place your Rice Krispy wands on a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper on top of a cookie sheet before you start decorating.

Once the sticks are secure, put the remaining melted yellow candy melts into a piping bag, or plastic bag and cut just the very tip off. Drizzle yellow candy melts back and forth over your star-shaped Rice Krispies, then immediately add sprinkles while they are still wet.
