Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Rice Krispie Mixture

1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
3. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.

Step 2: Mix with Rice Krispies

1. In a large bowl, pour the Rice Krispies cereal. Then, pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal.
2. Use a spatula or a spoon to gently stir the mixture until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.

Step 3: Shape the Rice Krispie Treats into Eggs

1. Lightly grease your hands with butter or cooking spray to prevent the mixture from sticking.
2. While the mixture is still warm, press small amounts of the Rice Krispie mixture into an egg shape. You can form the treats by hand, or use an egg-shaped cookie cutter for more uniform shapes.
3. Once you’ve shaped all the Rice Krispie treats, set them aside to cool and harden.

Step 4: Decorate the Easter Egg Rice Krispie Treats

1. Once the treats are completely cool and firm, you can decorate them. Use food coloring to tint melted white chocolate or candy melts, and dip the treats into the chocolate for a colorful coating.
2. Alternatively, you can decorate them with sprinkles, candy decorations, or even pipe on icing to create designs like bunny faces or Easter flowers.
3. If you’d like, you can drizzle some chocolate syrup or melted chocolate over the treats for a fun finishing touch.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

1. Let the decorations set before serving your Easter Egg Rice Krispie Treats. These treats are perfect for Easter baskets or as a fun, festive snack for Easter parties.
