#EasytoMake Rice Krispies Easter Egg Treats

I have been compensated with materials and reimbursement for these yummy Rice Krispies Easter Egg Treats. Photos, thoughts, and craziness are all my own.

Sometimes I think Pinterest will be the death of me. Make this! Create that! What- I didn’t bake a five layer masterpiece for Easter brunch? Wait… I was supposed to have Easter brunch? I have to keep myself grounded and remind myself that I have four kids. This translates to approximately fifteen minutes of spare time a day, five of which I have to allot to a bathroom break. In order for my daughter and I to find quality time in the kitchen, we have to Keep It Simple! That’s why this Easter we are sticking with a tried and true favorite– Rice Krispies Easter Egg Treats. Psst….these have a special candy surprise!

Ingredients:

  • Box of Rice Krispies
  • Bag of miniature marshmallows
  • Butter
  • Small candy
  • Plastic Easter eggs or Rice Krispies Treat Shaperz

Rice Krispie Easter Egg Treat Ingredients

Begin by doing the oven work before the kids help. My kids are enamored with the oven, and I don’t want anyone to get burned, so I do the hot part myself. Make a traditional Rice Krispies treat mix by melting 3 tablespoons of butter in a skillet and mixing it with 4 cups miniature marshmallows. Stir until melted. Remove from heat and add 6 cups Rice Krispies. Stir until that deliciously sticky mix is combined to perfection.

Now the fun part! Bring the kids in and start shaping those Easter Egg Treats.

Create another egg and place it over the first one to close the egg and conceal the sweet surprise.

Let the kids have fun decorating the Rice Krispies Easter Egg Treats. My daughter is sprinkle crazy. She believes throwing sprinkles– even if they don’t stick to the food– makes everything better.

Shortly after making our treats, my daughter mysteriously disappeared. I discovered her in the yard sneaking in a treat before dinner.

I asked her to rate the treats that we made on a scale from 1 to 10 (with 10 being the best) on how the treats look and taste, as well as how fun it was to make them. In typical girlie fashion, she rated everything a 10 and “the best ever”.

How fun do you think this simple cooking activity is? Find more easy recipes on the Rice Krispies webpage, the Rice Krispies Pinterest Page, and Facebook page.

    I really like your idea of shaping the rice krispie treats into an egg shape. I am going to make these, but rather than putting candy in the middle, I plan to leave it empty to represent the empty tomb when Jesus rose from the dead and lives again. Thank you for the inspiration.

    • Melanie says

      April 11, 2017 at 7:56 pm

      That is a great idea. Thanks for sharing!

    In charge of snack this week at church… How many eggs did you get with 1 recipe?
    Thx!!!

    • Melanie says

      It’s been a while since I did these. I think at least 12. They are fairly large, and since there are 2 halves with the M&Ms in the center, they take a lot of rice krispie stuff. If you make the eggs smaller, then you may be able to get more.
