Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups Marshmallows (mini marshmallows preferred)
- 1/2 cup Butter (1 stick)
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup Pastel-colored M&Ms candies
- 1/2 cup Mini Chocolate Eggs
- 1/4 cup White Chocolate chips (melted)
- 1/4 cup Yellow Candy melts (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract (if using).
- Step 2: Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture and stir gently until evenly coated.
- Step 3: Gently fold in the pastel-colored M&Ms candies and mini chocolate eggs.
- Step 4: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan. Pour the Rice Krispie mixture into the prepared pan and press down firmly and evenly with a spatula or wax paper to create an even layer.
- Step 5: Drizzle the melted white chocolate and yellow candy melts over the top of the Rice Krispie treats, creating a decorative Easter design. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
- Step 6: Once completely cool, cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- Store leftover treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for optimal freshness.
- For a warm, gooey treat, briefly microwave individual squares for 10-15 seconds.
- Serve these Easter Rice Krispie treats alongside a refreshing spring beverage like lemonade or iced tea for a delightful Easter brunch or dessert.
- To prevent sticking, lightly grease your spatula or wax paper before pressing the mixture into the pan, ensuring even distribution and easy cutting.
