Egg Shaped Rice Krispie Treats
1/2 butter
10 oz marshmallows
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Dash of salt
Special Equipment: Plastic Easter eggs
5 cups Fruity Pebbles or your preferred cereal
Wash your plastic eggs in warm soapy water, dry fully. Spray the eggs with a light coating of baking spray and set aside.
In a large pot, melt your butter over medium heat, add in the marshmallows and stir continuously until marshmallows have melted, remove from heat, stir in the vanilla, salt and cereal and stir until combined and marshmallow mixture is evenly disbursed throughout the cereal.
Using a large spoon, scrape out enough cereal to fill each side of the eggs. You want to pack it in yet still allow the eggs to close. Once all eggs are full, place them in your refrigerator (or other cool place) and allow them to set. Once set, remove them from the eggs and enjoy.
Colleen's Notes:The treats will usually release easily with just a bit of a wiggle. If you run into trouble, gently run a butter knife around the perimeter of the side the egg may be sticking to.
Smaller cereal pieces work best. This recipe will fill 9 standard plastic Easter eggs, however you can also use the smaller versions, which are great for snacking or tucking into the kiddos lunchbox.
