Your favorite Rice Krispies Treat turned into an Easter favorite. This Easter dessert is easy to make, fun to eat and loved by young and old alike! Whip up a batch of these cereal treats in no time at all. 

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. 

Rod was a bit offended when I said I was make an Easter Rice Krispie Treat. I had invaded on his territory. Rod is an excellent cook and shares a lot of his recipes, but he acts like these are his baby. Do you member the commercial for Rice Krispies where there is a mom making Rice Krispies Treats and she is in the kitchen banging pots and flinging flour in the attempt to make it look like she slaved to make a special dessert for her family? Yeah, that’s Rod. I think he thought I’d never made them before and I would learn how easy these really are to make!

I don’t even care that they are the easiest dessert to make. 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! 

Sometimes simple is best and this simple treat is extra delicious!

How to make:

1. Melt butter and marshmallows together in a large pot
2. Stir in rice krispies
3. Add mini malted eggs
4. Pour into a greased pan
5. Add additional mini malted eggs
6. Push down mixture with a greased spatula
7. 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. Oh, and I’ve added the mini malted colored eggs. 

Tips:

• Be certain to stir marshmallows will 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.
