Description

These Easter Egg Rice Krispie Treats are a fun and festive no-bake dessert perfect for spring celebrations. Crispy Rice Krispies cereal is combined with melted marshmallows and butter, shaped into adorable egg-shaped ovals, and optionally decorated with pastel candy melts, sprinkles, or mini chocolate eggs. Quick to prepare and delightfully sweet, these treats make charming additions to Easter baskets or party favors.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 package (10 oz) mini marshmallows
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Decoration

  • Pastel candy melts or white chocolate (for drizzling)
  • Sprinkles or mini chocolate eggs (for decorating)
  • Nonstick spray or butter (for shaping)

Instructions

  1. Melt the Butter and Marshmallows: In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat, then add the mini marshmallows. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth to create a cohesive mixture.
  2. Add Vanilla and Combine Cereal: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Quickly fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until every piece is fully coated with the marshmallow mixture.
  3. Cool Slightly for Handling: Allow the mixture to cool slightly so it is easier to handle but still moldable, preventing burns while shaping.
  4. Shape the Treats: Grease your hands with butter or nonstick spray, then shape the mixture into egg-shaped ovals. Place each formed egg on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set.
  5. Decorate (Optional): If desired, melt pastel candy melts or white chocolate and drizzle over the shaped eggs. Add sprinkles or press mini chocolate eggs into the surface for extra festive decoration.
  6. Set Completely: Let the treats cool completely at room temperature until fully set and ready to serve or package.

Notes

  • For colorful treats, divide the marshmallow mixture and tint each portion with food coloring before shaping.
  • Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
  • These treats are perfect for Easter baskets, party favors, or springtime celebrations.
