Instead of making sugar cookies for Easter, you can use an egg cookie cutter to cut out Rice Krispie Treats into fun shapes. Then use icing to decorate them just like you would sugar cookies. This Easter sugar cookie variation of Rice Krispie Treats is more forgiving than sugar cookies and no baking is required making it a fun activity to do with children.

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.

8. Divide the white icing between the ramekins and add 1-2 drops of food coloring to each dish and mix.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
