LEFTOVER EASTER CANDY CRISPY TREATS

Steps:

• Line an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with a sheet of foil large enough to leave a 2-inch overhang on all sides. Grease the foil with 1 tablespoon of butter.
• Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marshmallows, stirring occasionally until they melt completely, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and a pinch of salt.
• Working quickly, add the rice cereal and candy to the pot and stir with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and press into an even, compact layer. (Wet your hands to keep the mixture from sticking.) Let sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes. Cut into 16 squares.
• Store the treats at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

EASTER RICE KRISPIE SQUARES

Steps:

• Grease and line a 9" x 13" pan with parchment paper.
• Using a double boil method* place marshmallows and coconut oil (or butter) in a large heat proof bowl with water simmering over medium low heat.
• Once melted add Rice Krispies cereal and mix until well blended. Add Mini Eggs and mix again. Add to prepared pan and press down firmly to flatten ( I find spraying the bottom of a 1 cup measuring tool is the easiest way to flatten rice krispies into the pan).
• Allow to set for 60 minutes (or more) and cut into desired sized squares.

RICE KRISPIES EASTER EGG TREATS WITH A HIDDEN SURPRISE

Steps:

• Clean, then coat inside of plastic eggs with cooking spray. Set aside.
• In large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
• Add Kellogg's® Rice Krispies® cereal. Stir until well coated.
• Using greased hands, firmly press 1/4 cup of Rice Krispies® mixture into both halves of each plastic egg. Use fingers to make hollow center in each half. Remove from molds. Place on wax paper. Cool slightly.
• Place about 6 M&M'S® Brand Chocolate Candies in one half of each egg. Gently press two halves of each egg together until they stick. Cool completely.
• Decorate with frosting and additional M&M'S® Brand Chocolate Candies (if desired). Best if served the same day. Serving size is 1 egg.

CHICK & EGG KRISPIES NEST EASTER TREATS

Steps:

• Lightly spray 2 cupcake/muffin tins w/ nonstick cooking spray.
• In a large saucepan, over low heat, melt margarine. Add marshmallows, and stir frequently over the low heat until melted and mixed well with melted margarine. Remove from heat.
• Stir in Rice Krispies and mix to coat well.
• Immediately spoon into muffin/cupcake tins to almost full, but not packed down.
• With greased or wax-paper-covered thumb, OR greased shot glass, press down on center of the Krispies treats to form nest shape. Allow to cool and set completely---about 20 minutes.
• Remove to extra-large foil muffin/cupcake liners.
• Place 2 or 3 egg-shaped candies in each nest.
• Separate the marshmallow Peep chicks and gently press a chick on top of each nest.

CRISPY EASTER EGGS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until melted. Remove from the heat, then add the rice cereal and stir until well coated.
• Take small amounts of the mixture and fill both sides of a plastic egg, slightly over-filling one side. If the mixture is too sticky, you can spray your hands with a light cooking spray. Press a chocolate egg in the center on one side of the egg, then close the plastic egg to shape it. (It should be full enough to meet with a little resistance as you close it.) Gently release the rice cereal egg from the mold, decorate with your choice of sprinkles and set aside in an egg crate until set. Repeat with the remaining rice cereal mixture and chocolate eggs.
