Look for something circular.  I used the top to a canning jar and cut out the rice kripies.

Once you cut them out shape them into balls.  Lay on another cookie sheet and place them in the fridge for about an hour to help them set.   If you don’t want to shape them, just put the cookie sheet in the fridge and after the hour cut them into whatever shape you want.
