Easter party favors they’ll love
Who doesn’t love Rice Krispies Treats? We took an original favorite, Kellogg’s Rice Krispies, and turn them into an Easter rice krispy treats recipe – a fun way to create and enjoy them for the holiday. Whether you make these at home for your family or as Easter favors to give away, they are the best idea!
The Kellogg’s Rice Krispies cereal in these Easter eggs are made with real rice and have a bunch of vitamins in them. With tasty cookie icing and small candies to garnish, these treats are fun to make, hand out to friends, and eat!
Easter Egg Rice Krispies Treats
I have an ongoing partnership with Kellogg’s, where I share what I love about their cereals and other products. As a major fan of Rice Krispies Treats, it was only right that I create some rice krispies treat easter eggs in pastel colors that we decorate and eat at home.
Materials & ingredients needed for this Easter party food:
For the Rice Krispies Treat eggs
- Kellogg’s Rice Krispies
- butter
- mini marshmallows
- 13 x 9 cookie sheet
To decorate the Easter egg treats
- Cookie icing, various colors (These Wilton cookie icing tubes are my favorite)
- small decorative candies
- wax paper
- rolling pin
- Easter egg shaped cookie cutters
- clear plastic poly bags, to fit the size of your treats
- Assorted ribbon
Let’s make these rice krispies Easter eggs!
These are really easy to make, I actually had half of this stuff in the pantry already. Here’s how to make these Easter cookies:
Step 1: Put together the Rice Krispies Treats base
To prepare the Easter Rice Krispies Treats, melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the marshmallows and stir until the mixture is thoroughly combined and completely melted. When it’s finished, remove the pan from heat and slowly stir in the Kellogg’s Rice Krispies with a spatula, making sure they are all coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Step 2: Roll out the krispy treat mixture
Transfer the marshmallow and rice krispy mixture to your cookie sheet, completely covering the surface and pressing it down along the edges.
Grab a piece of wax paper large enough to fit the cookie sheet and place it over the mixture. Take a rolling pin (technique from my girl Caryn) and roll it gently over the wax paper-covered mixture until it’s nice and flat. Allow the Rice Krispies treats to cool for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Cut out the egg-shaped cookies and decorate
Remove the wax paper, take your Easter egg shaped cookie cutters, and cut away! Place cutouts onto the wax paper and decorate with Wilton cookie icing tubes.
Let the cookie icing and decorations dry for at least an hour. If you are storing these, cover the Easter egg treats in an air-tight container. Place your Easter egg Rice Krispies treats into poly bags and tie them with ribbon. That’s it, you’re done making these wonderful Easter treats!
