Easter Rice Krispie Treats
Fun and festive Easter Rice Krispie Treats with pastel M&Ms, sprinkles, and a chewy, marshmallow base — perfect for Easter celebrations.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp butter salted or unsalted
- 1 10 oz bag mini marshmallows (divided)
- 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup pastel M&Ms + extra for topping
- ¼ cup pastel sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Grease a 9x13-inch pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Melt the Marshmallows: In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add 4 cups of marshmallows and stir until smooth.
- Combine with Cereal: Remove from heat and stir in Rice Krispies cereal until fully coated.
- Add Mix-Ins: Let the mixture cool slightly (3-4 minutes), then stir in the remaining marshmallows, M&Ms, and sprinkles.
- Press and Cool: Gently press the mixture into the prepared pan without compacting it too firmly. Add extra M&Ms on top.
- Cut and Serve: Let cool for 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
Notes
✅ Use fresh marshmallows for the best texture.
✅ Avoid pressing the mixture too firmly to keep treats soft and chewy.
✅ For thicker bars, use an 8x8-inch pan instead of a 9x13.
