WARNING: Do not attempt to make this recipe if you do not possess amazing will power and self restraint!
The plan was to surprise the kiddos with Rice Krispie Easter Eggs when they came home from school. I made them in the morning. This was way, way to early. Why? Because there they sat, taunting me, flashing their bright colors, filling up my kitchen with the smell of sweet, buttery goodness. Well, maybe if I sink my teeth into just one little egg, then that will satisfy me. A-hem… I might lost a bit of control and sampled a half dozen. These eggs are addicting!
If you are needing an Easter class party treat, you should consider these. This recipe makes approximately 40 eggs! Aren’t they adorable nestled in Easter grass and paper cupcake liners!
- 1 (16 oz) bag of mini marshmallows
- 1 (12 oz) box of crispy rice cereal
- 1 stick of butter
- food coloring gel
- You will need several microwave safe bowls, one for each color, working in small batches.
- In one bowl add 1 tablespoon butter, 1 cup mini marshmallows, & food coloring.
- Microwave it for 30 seconds. Stir until melted & smooth. Add more food coloring if desired.
- Add 1 cup crispy rice cereal & stir well to combine.
- Generously butter your palms. Scoop out mixture into palms and shape into an egg shape. Add more butter to your palms if sticking occurs. Place onto wax paper.
- One bowl/batch will make 5 eggs.
- Repeat process with a new bowl and new color until all marshmallows have been used.
Be sure to make enough because these will go fast!

Yummy! I’m sure they wouldn’t have survived at my house, either. 🙂 Esp since the hubs works from home!

These are adorable!!! I love Rice Krispie treats… 🙂
The rice krispy treat eggs look wonderfully delicious and so fun! I will tuck this away in my brain and see if I can get to them this week. Thanks for sharing.
Very cute idea! My kids would love these! Thanks for posting.
Great idea to add color. Last year i made Rice Krispie treats and Fruity Pebble treats. I didnt want to get my hands dirty so i used plastic eggs to shape the treats and hollow them so i could add candy inside. My nephew and little brother loved them!
These are GREAT!!! The kids (age 5 and 8) had a blast making these and they turned out perfect. We used plastic eggs as molds (we buttered the inside….don’t know if it was necessary…but, worked for us) that was suggested in the comments. Thanks for sharing these.
