Ingredients

Scale

Basic Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows
  • 3 tablespoons butter

Optional Ingredients

  • Food coloring (as desired for dyeing marshmallow mixture)
  • Sprinkles or edible decorations (for decorating eggs)
  • Non-stick spray or additional butter (for greasing hands during shaping)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Melt the Butter and Marshmallows
    Start by warming 3 tablespoons of butter over low heat in a large saucepan until melted. Add 4 cups of mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth, forming the perfect sticky base for your eggs.
  2. Step 2: Add Color and Mix
    Stir in your choice of food coloring directly into the melted marshmallow mixture for vibrant, festive colors. Then, carefully fold in 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal until each piece is coated evenly and ready to shape.
  3. Step 3: Shape the Eggs
    Lightly grease your hands with butter or non-stick spray, then grab small handfuls of the mixture and mold them into egg shapes. Take your time to smooth edges or add gentle curves for that authentic egg look.
  4. Step 4: Decorate Your Easter Rice Krispies Eggs
    Add sprinkles, edible glitter, or drizzle melted chocolate on your shaped eggs to personalize each one for extra flair and holiday fun.
  5. Step 5: Let Them Set
    Place your decorated eggs on wax paper or a greased tray and allow them to cool completely. This step helps your eggs firm up and hold their shape perfectly.

Notes

  • Work fast: The marshmallow mixture sets quickly, so mix and shape immediately after combining.
  • Use wax paper: Prevent sticking by shaping and cooling the eggs on wax or parchment paper.
  • Grease your hands well: Butter your palms generously to stop the mixture from sticking as you shape the eggs.
  • Combine colors carefully: If you want multi-colored eggs, divide the mixture before adding different colors for neat designs.
  • Store in an airtight container: Keep your treats fresh and crunchy for days by sealing them properly after they cool.
  • For variations, try adding mini chocolate chips, mixing in peanut butter, using gluten-free cereal, natural dyes, or vegan substitutes.
