- Bring corn syrup and sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat; stir in peanut butter and vanilla.
- Pour syrup mixture over cereal and sprinkles. Stir to coat evenly. Be careful, it’s hot! Pat mixture into pan.

Notes
Note: it’s best to use brand name quality jimmies or quins for the sprinkles. Nonpareils and cheaper sprinkles will melt into the hot mixture. I've used sprinkles in the cereal mixture and just used them on top; it's your choice how you want to add them to decorate.
