Description
Delightful Rice Krispies Easter Egg Treats that are fun to make and perfect for spring celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 package (10 oz) marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- Candy melts or chocolate for coating
- Sprinkles or edible decorations
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat. As it begins to melt, continuously stir to ensure even heating.
- Once the butter is melted, add the marshmallows to the saucepan. Keep stirring until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Now, add the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir well until all the cereal is coated in the marshmallow mixture.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly—just enough so it’s manageable—but still warm to the touch. Grease your hands lightly with butter or non-stick spray. Take a handful of the mixture and shape it into egg shapes, about the size of a large egg.
- Melt the candy melts or chocolate according to the package instructions. Dip each Rice Krispie egg into the melted coating, ensuring it’s well covered.
- While the coating is still wet, sprinkle your favorite sprinkles or edible decorations over the eggs.
- Let the treats set on a sheet of wax paper until the coating hardens completely. Once set, they’re ready to serve!
