Easter Egg Rice Krispie Treats Recipe
Makes approximately 12-14 Easter Egg Rice Krispies using a 2″ x 2 3/4″ egg-shaped cookie cutter.
Ingredients:
- 6 cups Rice Krispie cereal (off-brand works great too!)
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons butter, cut into chunks
- White Cookie Icing (you could also use homemade icing)
- Pink, Purple, Teal, and Yellow gel food coloring
Supplies:
- Small sandwich baggies
- Kitchen scissors
- Egg cookie cutter
- small ramekins
- Toothpicks
Directions:
1. Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment or wax paper.
2. Add the mini marshmallows and butter to a large saucepan or Dutch oven and heat on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.
3. Once the mixture is about 3/4 melted, fold in the Rice Krispie cereal until it is completely coated.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and gently press down.
5. Place the Rice Krispie Treats in the fridge for 30 minutes.
6. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
7. Remove the treats from the fridge and use the egg shaped cookie cutter to cut out each treat and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Divide the white icing between the ramekins and add 1-2 drops of food coloring to each dish and mix.
9. Scoop each colored icing into a small sandwich baggie. Snip a small amount of each baggie corner so you can decorate the cookies.
10. Outline each Rice Krispie egg with your choice of colored icing and let the outline set.
11. Flood the inside of the outline with the same icing color and use the toothpicks to gently fill in each egg. Let the colors set.
12. Once all the eggs are frosted, use the remaining colored icing to decorate the eggs with stripes and dots.
Store in a sealed container at room temperature.
