    These Easter Egg Rice Krispie treats are fun! They are both fun to make and fun to eat! They didn't last very long at my house.

    For a while, my kids LOVED cereal bars that you would buy in stores. For a special Easter treat, they woke up to these Easter egg treats on the counter.

    Another fun Easter treat are these chocolate bird's nests.

    Ingredients

    Ingredients for Easter egg treats including Rice Krispie treat cereal, marshmallows, butter, Hershey Kisses, plastic eggs.

    1 bag large marshmallows (any brand)
    6 cups Rice Krispies
    3 tablespoon butter

    Small (tiny-ish) plastic eggs
    Treat for in the egg (Hershey Kiss fits perfectly)
    chocolate drizzle (optional)

    Helpful Hint

    Thin food grade gloves are helpful. They protect your hands from the hot Rice Krispies mixture. If you don't have any handy, slip your hands in plastic baggies.

    Instructions

    Put the treats in the plastic eggs
    Melt butter (gently, don't scorch!)
    Melt marshmallows on medium heat.

    Add Rice Krispies into melted marshmallow and butter mixture. Stir well to coat working quickly. Turn off heat.

    Allow Rice Krispie mixture to cool a bit prior to handling!

    Ok, here's the fun part. Put on the gloves and either put cooking spray or butter on them. That will make your life much easier. It also protects your hands from the hot Rice Krispies & Marshmallow mixture.

    I made a dozen eggs.

    Take about a cup worth of the hot Rice Krispies mixture and wrap around the plastic egg. Press mixture on firmly. The gloves really help!

    You may find the mixture gets a little droopy and slides off the plastic eggs. Just press it back in place and once it cools a little, it stays around the egg. You do have to work quickly because as the mixture cools, it gets hard and difficult to work with. If you are organized and know you need to work fast, you will be OK!

    After a couple of minutes, the Rice Krispies mixture will harden. You can add a chocolate drizzle at this time.

    For detailed directions on the chocolate drizzle, take a peek at my Cheerio Marshmallow Squares recipe.

    FAQ's

    Do I really need the food grade gloves?

    Yes! Either those or a plastic baggie. The Rice Krispie mixture can be hot if you haven't let it cool enough.

    How do I store these

    Wrap them individually with plastic wrap. After a couple of days, the cereal treat mixture will get hard.
