Here’s a cute, easy idea I found on the Rice Krispies website for a nice Easter treat.
Ingredients
1/4 cup | margarine or butter | |
1 pkg | 250 g (about 40) regular or 5 cups (1.25 ml) miniature marshmallows | |
6 cups | RICE KRISPIES cereal | |
1-1/2 cups | semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips | |
5 tsp | shortening | |
Multi-coloured sprinkles |

Preperation
- In large saucepan, melt margarine over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
- Add cereal. Stir until well coated.
- Using 50 ml (1/4-cup) measuring cup coated with cooking spray, divide warm cereal mixture into 24 portions. U sing lightly greased hands, shape each portion into egg shapes. Place on baking sheets lined with wax paper. Cool.
- In small saucepan, combine chocolate chip and shortening. Cook over low heat until melted, stirring constantly.
- Dip bottoms of cereal eggs into chocolate. Decorate with sprinkles. Place back on wax paper and refrigerate until chocolate is firm. Individually wrap in plastic wrap.
- MICROWAVE METHOD: In microwave-safe bowl, heat margarine and marshmallows on HIGH for 3 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Follow steps 2 through 5 above. Microwave cooking times may vary.
