Description
Delicious and colorful Easter-themed Rice Krispies treats shaped like eggs, perfect for celebrating the holiday!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoons Butter (Use salted butter for extra flavor.)
- 2 cups Mini Marshmallows (Opt for a fresh, unopened bag for best results.)
- 6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal (Provides the signature crunch and structure.)
- Food Coloring (Gel food coloring in vivid colors like blue, pink, and green works best.)
- 1–2 cups White Candy Melts (A sweet alternative to chocolate for coating.)
- Easter Sprinkles (Adds a festive touch to the finished eggs.)
Instructions
- Melt 1 ½ tablespoons of butter in a medium pot over low to medium heat. Add 2 ½ cups of mini marshmallows and stir continuously for 3-5 minutes until smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in food coloring gradually until desired color is achieved.
- Fold in 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Mix gently for about 2-3 minutes.
- Scoop ¼ cup of the mixture and mold into egg shapes. Place on parchment paper and repeat.
- Allow the eggs to cool for at least 30 minutes until they firm up.
- Melt 1-2 cups of white candy melts according to package instructions. Stir until smooth.
- Dip each shaped egg halfway into the melted candy melts, allowing excess to drip off. Sprinkle with Easter sprinkles.
- Place decorated eggs back on parchment paper and cool for 15-20 minutes until coating sets.
