A quick and festive twist on classic Rice Krispies treats, shaped like pastel Easter eggs with a soft marshmallow coating and subtle crunch. Perfect for spring celebrations, kid-friendly, and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
  • 4 cups (about 120g) Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Gel food coloring in pastel shades (pink, yellow, blue, green)
  • Optional: ½ cup white chocolate chips for drizzling or dipping

Instructions

  1. Melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl on high for 30 seconds.
  2. Stir in 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows and microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring each time, until smooth and creamy without browning.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Divide the marshmallow mixture evenly into small bowls for each pastel color you plan to use.
  5. Add a few drops of gel food coloring to each bowl and mix well until soft, even pastel shades form.
  6. Quickly fold 4 cups of Rice Krispies cereal into each colored marshmallow mixture.
  7. Lightly grease silicone egg molds with butter or non-stick spray.
  8. Press the Rice Krispies mixture firmly but gently into each mold cavity, smoothing the surface.
  9. Let the treats cool and set at room temperature for 15 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to firm up.
  10. Optional: Melt ½ cup white chocolate chips in 30-second bursts in the microwave, stirring between, then drizzle or dip the treats.
  11. Gently pop each egg out of the molds and serve.

Notes

Use mini marshmallows for smoother melting. Work quickly when mixing to prevent marshmallows from setting. Lightly grease hands or tools to prevent sticking. Chill treats before unmolding for best shape retention. Optional white chocolate drizzle adds sweetness and decoration. Gluten-free and vegan substitutions available.
