- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Food coloring (pastel shades like pink, yellow, and blue)

Instructions
Step 1: Melt the Marshmallows
In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter. Add the mini marshmallows, stirring until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract (if using).
Step 2: Divide & Color the Mixture
Separate the melted marshmallow mixture into 2-3 bowls. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and mix well.

Gently fold in Rice Krispies cereal into each colored bowl until evenly coated.
Step 4: Shape the Easter Eggs
- Using Greased Hands: Spray your hands with cooking spray and shape small portions into egg shapes.
- Using Plastic Eggs: Lightly grease the inside of a plastic Easter egg and press the mixture inside to mold. Gently remove and place on parchment paper.
Step 5: Decorate
Sprinkle with Easter sprinkles or gently press a mini chocolate egg into each Rice Krispie egg for extra decoration.
Step 6: Let Them Set & Serve
Allow the Easter Rice Krispie Treats to set for 10-15 minutes, then enjoy!
Notes
- Use fresh marshmallows – This makes the treats extra soft and gooey.
- Work quickly – The mixture sets fast, so shape your eggs while it’s still warm.
- Don’t overheat the marshmallows – Melt them over low heat to keep the texture soft.
- Spray your hands with cooking spray – This prevents the sticky mixture from sticking while shaping.
