Description
A festive and gooey no-bake holiday treat shaped like Easter eggs and filled with colorful surprises.
Ingredients
6 cups crispy rice cereal
10 oz bag marshmallows
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
Gel food coloring (pastel pink, blue, yellow)
Optional: Small jelly beans or mini chocolate eggs for filling
Instructions
Step 1: Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat until completely liquid.
Step 2: Stir in the marshmallows and continue to heat on low, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth.
Step 3: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and food coloring of your choice.
Step 4: Add the rice cereal and stir gently until every piece is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Step 5: Using buttered hands, press the mixture into greased plastic Easter egg molds, adding a candy in the center if desired.
Step 6: Press the egg halves together firmly, then remove from the mold and place on parchment paper.
Step 7: Allow the eggs to set at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before serving.
Notes
Work quickly while the marshmallow mixture is still warm for the easiest molding experience.
