While coloring Easter eggs is a long held tradition, why not try something different this year. Instead of coloring easter eggs with your children this year, why not try a making your own Easter eggs, using the timeless Rice Krispies cereal? The following is without a doubt, the easiest recipe you will ever find for making fun Easter treats.
You will need:
4 tablespoons of butter
4 cups of mini marshmallows
7 cups of Rice Krispies cereal
Plastic easter eggs
Non-stick pan spray
Optional Ingredients:
4 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 bag of Jelly Beans, or any other small, Easter egg-shaped candy (Reese’s eggs, M&Ms, etc)
Sprinkles
Melt the butter and marshmallows until soft, then mix in the the Rice Krispies. Remember that it will become a tough mixture. Next, making sure that your plastic Easter eggs are coated with pan spray, pack them with the Rice Krispies mixture. Add in any additional candies in the center for a fun surprise! Finally, close up the plastic egg, and let it sit and mold for 10 minutes. That’s it! They’re done.
If you want them to be extra tasty, try melting the semi sweet chocolate and then dipping them in (after they’ve molded for 10 minutes), and completing them with some sprinkles! Regardless of what you choose to do with them, they’re sure to be a fun filled treat to make and eat this Easter.
