Unwrap the Rice Krispie treats and place a lollipop stick into each one.
In a medium bowl, melt the chocolate wafers in the microwave at 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely smooth. Dip half of the Rice Krispie square into the chocolate.
Place the treats on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Melt the blue chocolate wafers and drizzle over the white chocolate.
Add candy to the melted chocolate before it cools — I like to have it ready in small bowls. Press the M&Ms into the chocolate so that they really "stick". Spread the festive sprinkles overtop.
Place the crispy treats in the fridge and allow the chocolate to harden completely before serving.

Homemade Rice Krispie treats work just as well as store-bought ones, but using premade squares cuts out some of the work. Find the homemade recipe in this post!
Use candy melts for best results — the wafer chocolate melts the best. Add one teaspoon of coconut oil to other chocolate to help it melt and pour better.
Lay the chocolate-covered treat on a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy moving and transporting before the chocolate has hardened.
Place the chocolate in the fridge or freezer to completely cool before serving.
Store these yummy treats in a large freezer bag or airtight container for up to three months at room temperature. They can also be stored in the fridge to prevent the chocolate from melting.
