Fun Easter treat
I'm certain you've had Rice Krispies Treats before. They've been a classic forever.
My husband loves to make them every few weeks. He whips up a batch and then portions them into individual servings for lunches throughout the week.
They are such a great treat! You just can't go wrong with Rice Krispies Treat! Add a few malted chocolate eggs and you have a special Easter treat!

Key ingredients
- Rice Krispies cereal
- Easter malted milk eggs
- Mini marshmallows
How to make:
- Melt butter and marshmallows together in a large pot
- Stir in rice krispies and mini malted eggs
- Pour into a greased pan
- Add additional mini malted eggs
- Pushdown mixture with a greased spatula
- Allow to cool. Slice and serve
This recipe is pretty traditional and follows the Rice Krispies Treats recipe, but I've added additional marshmallows to make a bit more of the marshmallow glue that holds everything together.
Tips:
- Be certain to stir marshmallows while they are melting. They burn easily.
- Work quickly once you add the cereal. The mixture sets up quickly.
- Use the back of a pancake spatula, lightly greased to gently push down mixture.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Hilarious! I'm imagining Rod in the kitchen whipping up a batch of rice crispy treats! 🙂 I love the idea of putting a fun Easter spin on this classic. We're stuck at home with Robbie, and it looks like we're gonna be holed up here for a while thanks to the coronavirus. I'm thinking rice crispies need to happen. Now I just need to go to the store to get Rice Krispies...wish me luck...

Rice Kripies is the perfect treat and Robbie can help! Our schools were just cancelled, but we are changing to a distance learning model so I'm still working! Lot's of big changes happening everywhere!
