Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 10 ounces Mini marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Easter-themed sprinkles
- 12 pieces Candy-coated chocolate eggs
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat.
Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, making sure all the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and press it down evenly using a greased spatula or clean, greased hands.
Immediately sprinkle the Easter-themed sprinkles over the top, gently pressing them into the surface.
Allow the treats to cool for 10-15 minutes, then cut them into squares or use cookie cutters to create Easter shapes, like eggs or bunnies.
Decorate each piece with candy-coated chocolate eggs, pressing them lightly into the surface so they stick.
Serve and enjoy, or store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
