Ingredients
To make these you’ll need:

- Marshmallows– A 16 ounce bag of mini marshmallows
- Vanilla extract
- Rice Krispies– The plain Rice Krispies cereal. Don’t use any of the specialty ones.
- Fruity Pebbles– To add the festive colors
You’ll also need plastic Easter eggs and nonstick spray.
How to Make
Making Rice Krispie treats Easter eggs is easy and fun!
Start the way you would making regular Rice Krispie treats by melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat and stirring in the marshmallows until they completely melt.
Once the marshmallows melt, take the pot from heat.
Stir the vanilla and both cereals into the melted marshmallow mixture until everything’s evenly combined.
Lightly spray your clean hands and the inside of the plastic Easter eggs with nonstick cooking spray.
Add the mixture to both halves of each egg, overfilling them slightly.
Squeeze the eggs together until shut to seal them together.
Remove any excess cereal mixture from the edges.
Repeat until you’ve either used up all the cereal or you’ve filled all your eggs.
Chill the eggs in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to help them set.
Open the eggs and gently squeeze the sides to release the treats.
Arrange them on a serving plate.
Enjoy!
Storing
Store these in an airtight container on the counter for up to 5 days.
Tips and Tricks
- Spray your clean hands, the inside of the plastic eggs, and even the stirring spoon/spatula with nonstick spray before using them with the treat mixture otherwise it will stick mercilessly to everything.
- The total number of egg shaped treats this recipe will make will vary some, depending on the size of your plastic eggs.
- Don’t let them sit in the fridge for more than 10 minutes for optimal texture. The fridge tends to make cereal treats a little soggy if they are in it for too long.
