Rice Krispie Easter Eggs
These colorful, marshmallowy treats are shaped like Easter eggs and can be filled with M&M’s or decorated with sprinkles!
Ingredients
3 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cups mini marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Food coloring (pink, purple, yellow, or pastel shades)
Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Easter M&M’s (for filling or topping)
Instructions
Step 1: Melt the Marshmallow Mixture
In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter.
Add mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted.
Step 2: Color & Mix
Remove from heat and divide the mixture into separate bowls (depending on how many colors you want).
Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and mix.
Stir Rice Krispies cereal into each bowl until fully coated.
Step 3: Shape the Eggs
Grease your hands lightly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Take a handful of the mixture and shape it into an egg shape.
If adding M&M’s inside, flatten the mixture slightly, place some M&M’s in the center, and wrap the mixture around them, shaping it back into an egg.
Place the shaped eggs on parchment paper to set.
Step 4: Decorate!
Sprinkle with sprinkles while still slightly warm for decoration.
Let cool completely before serving.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
These Rice Krispie Easter Eggs make a perfect Easter dessert or fun kid-friendly treat! 🐣🌸
