Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Food coloring (pastel colors of your choice)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Melt Butter and Marshmallows
    In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and stir continuously until the mixture is completely smooth and gooey. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract for added flavor.
  2. Step 2: Add Food Coloring
    If using multiple colors, divide the marshmallow mixture evenly into separate bowls. Add a few drops of your chosen food coloring(s) to each bowl and stir well to create festive pastel shades.
  3. Step 3: Mix in Rice Krispies Cereal
    Gently fold the Rice Krispies cereal into the colored marshmallow mixtures using a spatula, making sure each piece is coated without crushing the cereal, to keep the eggs light and crunchy.
  4. Step 4: Shape the Eggs
    Lightly grease your hands with butter or cooking spray. Scoop a handful of the mixture and quickly press and mold it into an egg shape. Place the shaped eggs on wax or parchment paper to set. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
  5. Step 5: Decorate and Serve
    Once the eggs have cooled and set, decorate them with sprinkles, drizzled chocolate, edible glitter, or any preferred toppings. Serve immediately or store for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Use fresh marshmallows for smoother melting and better texture.
  • Butter your hands to prevent stickiness while shaping the eggs.
  • Gently fold in the cereal to maintain crunch and avoid sogginess.
  • Work quickly as the mixture hardens as it cools, making shaping easier if done promptly.
  • Silicone molds can be used for perfectly shaped eggs and to save time.
