Peeps Rice Crispy Easter Egg Treats

Adding Peeps Candy is the perfect twist to this classic treat!⁣ ⁣ Rice Krispie Easter Egg Treats!⁣ ⁣ Ingredients:⁣ 9 Marshmallow chicks or bunnies⁣ 1 Tablespoon of melted butter⁣ 1 cup of Crispy Rice Cereal⁣ ⁣ Directions: ⁣ ⁣ Place the marshmallow candy pieces into the microwave for 25-30 seconds to melt them (the little pink bunnies get all puffy, and a bit disfigured).⁣ ⁣ Add the melted butter, and then stir until it becomes a smooth, pink, melted marshmallow concoction. If it’s still a bit lumpy, put it back into the microwave for a few seconds.⁣ ⁣ Add the cereal, and spread onto a greased cookie sheet or piece of tin foil. Our egg-shaped cookie cutter isn’t very deep, so I made sure that our cooled crispy layer wasn’t too deep to be cut.⁣ ⁣ Once it hardens a bit, help the kids cut out the egg shapes with the cookie cutter. If you don’t wait too long, you can even re-form some of the outside bits into another egg shape. We were able to make 4 complete eggs with one recipe outlined above.⁣ ⁣ Repeat with yellow chicks and purple bunnies. This can yield up to a dozen rice crispy treats, in 3 colors, ready for icing!⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #kidsactivities #kidsactivitesblog #easter #easterrecipe #recipe #diy #marshmallowpeeps #easterfun #stayathome #kidsrecipes #easyrecipes #easyeasterdesserts #easterdessert⁣
