Easter Eggs Rice Krispie (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Main components
01 -
15 tbsp salted butter (opt for sweet cream for best results)
02 -
15 cups of mini marshmallows
03 -
15 cups Rice Krispies cereal from Kellogg's
→ To add color
04 -
Wilton Color Right gel food dyes (blue, pink, and yellow)
# Instructions:
01 -
Create five individual portions of Rice Krispie Treat mix, one for every hue: Pink, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple. Each mix will provide enough for approximately five eggs, totaling 25 vibrant Easter-themed eggs.
02 -
Place 3 tbsp of butter in a medium-sized saucepan and heat at a low setting. When melted, toss in 3 cups of mini marshmallows and stir constantly until you're left with a smooth, lump-free blend.
03 -
Take the saucepan off the stovetop. Add your food coloring: Pink (4 drops of pink), Yellow (3 pink drops), Purple (2 blue drops + 3 pink), Green (1 blue drop + 4 yellow), or Blue (4 blue). Stir until the color spreads evenly.
04 -
Pour 3 cups of the Rice Krispies cereal into the colored marshmallow mix and gently fold until every cereal piece is coated in the sticky mixture without leaving dry spots.
05 -
Let the mixture rest momentarily to cool (1–2 minutes should do). Wet your hands slightly to keep the mixture from sticking, then grab a portion and shape it carefully into an oval egg. Lay each completed egg on parchment or wax paper to cool entirely.
06 -
Follow all previous steps for the other colors, ensuring you give your saucepan a thorough wash and dry between batches. This helps maintain the shades' brilliance without accidental mixing.
# Notes:
01 -
Firmly squeezing the mixture as you shape it ensures you’ll get a nice, smooth egg shape without gaps.
02 -
Damp hands make shaping stress-free, but make sure they’re only slightly wet—too much water will ruin their texture.

These colorful creations are great for Easter baskets or as fun table decorations during celebrations.
