OK ready for a super quick and simple treat? One pan, 3 ingredients (plus any sprinkles or candies you want to add) and no baking. Kids love making these and they keep them busy for a while when they are making the egg shapes and picking the sticky krispies off their fingers.
You need:
Rice Krispies
Butter
Marshmallows
Any sprinkles or candy you may want to stir in (optional)
A plastic egg to mold the shapes
Melt the butter in a pain over low. Stir in marshmallows and keep stirring until everything is melted and blended together. Don’t scorch the butter and marshmallows, keep it on low heat. Take off heat and gently stir in Rice Krispies.
Stir in any candies or sprinkles. I used m&m’s in those ones because my kids really wanted to but I would recommend something even smaller or maybe crush the candies up just because anything too big usually falls off the sides of the eggs. I don’t know if I am explaining this good because this quarantine has turned my brain to mush but do what you want and be creative because in the end they taste amazing no matter what. But see the picture below to see what I mean.
OK this is the part my kids love. Get your plastic eggs ready. Stuff a bit of the Rice Krispie filling in your mouth. Then stuff some of it in each half of the egg. Pack it pretty tight on each half of the egg then put the egg together. Keep the egg closed a few seconds then gently open it and extract your beautiful egg shaped Rice Krispie treat.
Look at that focus! This kept her busy for a good 20 mins.
Now is a good time to top with some more sprinkles and you may have to press them in to the treat just a bit so they don’t fall off.
I lay them all out on wax paper so they set a bit but you can eat them right away.
That’s it! Enjoy!
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies
- Sprinkles or candies to stir in (optional)
- Over low heat in a sauce pan melt the better.
- Once butter is melted stir in marshmallows. Keep stirring until marshmallows are totally melted.
- Turn off heat and stir in Rice Krispies. Gently toss them until they are all coated in the marshmallow mixture.
- Stir in any sprinkles or candies. (Keep the candies tiny or else they will create gaps in the treat when you go to make the egg shapes.)
- Take your plastic egg (I used the small eggs in these photos but you can use any size) and fill each half of the egg with the Krispy mixture. Pack it in and close up the egg. Keep it closed for a few seconds then remove the egg.
