Just yesterday, I was wracking my brain for a last-minute Easter treat to make for the kids this weekend. I had my mind set on Rice Krispie treats because they’d be quick and easy, but I wanted to make them special for the holiday.


My first thought was to use cookie cutters to make Easter-egg shaped treats, but then I thought of the Pioneer Woman’s gorgeous Krispie Eggs which are shaped like real eggs.
I checked my baking supplies, and dang! I didn’t have coloured sugar and sprinkles to make them look all Easter-y.
And then, I remembered I had a box of Fruity Pebbles in the cupboard.
Perfect!!
Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispie Easter Egg Treats it is, my friends.


How to Make Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispie Easter Egg Treats
This recipe makes approximately 20 egg-shaped treats. (Printable Recipe Below)
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup butter
- 5 cups mini marshmallows
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 6 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
- extra butter to keep your hands from getting sticky


Instructions:
To start, melt your butter in a large pot over low heat.


Toss in your mini-marshmallows, and stir them around while they’re melting.


When the marshmallows are completely melted and gooey, remove your pan from the heat, and add vanilla and Fruity Pebbles.


Give those a good stir until everything is well-mixed.
Shaping your eggs:
Butter up your fingers, and scoop a heaping spoonful of the mixture into your hand. Squeeze it, roll it and shape it like an egg, pressing and pinching here and there to get it just right.


You’ll want to use a good amount of pressure when you’re compressing the egg – enough that it won’t fall apart, but not so much that you completely crush the cereal.
Repeat with the rest of the mixture, buttering your hands again when things get sticky.


I used a plastic Easter egg to gauge the size of the first few eggs. I made them small to fit inside of the plastic eggs so I could serve some that way.
I tucked a few more into colourful egg cups, and the rest, I nestled in a bright bowl.


What do you think? Aren’t they gorgeous?
You can’t beat an easy-to-make, last-minute treat that looks this good.


Just one. Or two… Or was it three…
